One of the best things on the Apple Watch is the Action button. This is a much needed control button that has been missing for a long time. It is the best training tool for drivers, runners and riders. You can see this on the left side of the case.
This Action Button is very easy to press with sweaty fingers or when you are wearing gloves.
Whatever it is, this latest Action button will be developed to fit many things on the Apple Watch in the future. Until then, there is only so much you can do with it. You can do them through the Apple Watch Ultra or through the Watch app on your iPhone.
Currently, you can use this Action button as a Workout shortcut, a Stopwatch, to use the Waypoint and Backtrack functions of the Watch, as a Dive Shortcut, to activate the Flashlight, as a custom Shortcut. You can customize all these options.
For example, if you select the Workout action, press the Apple Watch Ultra button. You will then be taken directly to the Workout app. Then you can scroll and choose a suitable workout. Or it can start your chosen activity. While you are working out, pressing the Action Button will switch you to the next workout mode.
Setting up the Action Button
When you try to sync Apple Watch Ultra to your phone, it asks you to set up the Action button. If you miss this or change your mind later, you can go back and fix it. You can do it from the watch app on the phone or from the Apple Watch itself.

How to use an Action button to pause a workout
Another feature here is that you can pause it during a workout. Simply press the Action button to do it. While testing this we found this to be very easy to do. It is very easy to do even when you are using gloves.
If you want to stop the current action, you can do it by pressing and holding the side button and the action button at the same time. Make sure not to press the side button or Digital Crown when you press the Action button. If you press another button at the same time, your Apple Watch will move to the one assigned to it.
