Some workouts also display the Burn Bar, which shows how your metrics compare to others who have done the workout before. The more calories you burn, the higher you land on the Burn Bar. Your position on the Burn Bar is saved in your workout summary along with your other metrics.
You can change the on-screen metrics from Apple Watch that you see on the screen during a workout. Metrics settings sync across the Fitness app on all your devices signed in with your Apple ID, such as iPhone and iPad.
