The Workout Reminder, aka Automatic Workout Detection, is a feature developed to tell you by your Apple Watch to start the workout tracking with the watch. Generally, you get a reminder on your Watch that prompts you to start the workout.

The feature detects your physical activities like walking, running, elliptical workouts, swimming, and rower workouts. Even when you forget to initiate a workout on your Apple Watch, the feature gives you a result of your workout once you get relaxes after doing a workout.
