From equestrian sports to archery, there's no shortage of workouts available to track on the Apple Watch. Every one is illustrated with a delightful green stick person partaking in said sport, with varying degrees of effectiveness (the 'Water Fitness' fan appears to require a lifeguard urgently). But these hilarious fan-made efforts might be better than the real things.

And the designs are such perfect parodies of Apple's own workouts that they wouldn't even look out of place in the app. (Check out the best Apple Watch Series 7 deals if you're in the market for new gear.)

But if you don't fancy waiting, or simply have a cable management session imminent, take a look at today's best Apple Watch Series 7 deals, and find more great offers below.
