I can understand why Apple may be reluctant to introduce snow shoveling as a workout; getting a dozen software engineers from California to get cups of hot coco to trial it would be a tough sell.

Whereas thousands of people suffer from cardiac episodes directly associated from shoveling snow each year, I would love to see Apple add it in as a safety monitor similar to car crash detection if nothing else.

Does anyone know of third party watch apps which can track snow shoveling in the meantime?

Every 12 to 18 months I polish mine (stainless steel variants only) with jewellers-grade compound and a basic Dremel-like power tool. I decided to hand down my Stainless Steel S7 and gave it touch up and documented my stages for others: Apple Watch Dialux Polishing

What's fun at the moment is I downgraded to an old Aluminium Series while I wait for my next one to ship. What a difference going backwards! I love the aluminium at the gym, but I will forever be a fan of the raw stainless steel variants for this reason.

I never use a case, I work in the trades and wear this into the salty ocean and gym pools very often. If my watches can survive your's can too.

I think the Stainless Steel is the best, but I love the aluminium at the moment. There's no bad options really, but if you own a raw stainless steel version, you might want to check out my before and afters:
