Heart Rate
Heart rate is read from Apple Health.
Regardless of whether or not there is connected with workout,
zone time and exercise intensity are judged based on all heart rate recorded in Apple Health.
The heart rate registered from Apple Watch is usually recorded in a few minutes,
but it will be recorded in detail every few seconds while measuring with a workout compatible application.
In order to obtain accurate information, we recommend that you measure with a workout compatible application on Apple Watch.
Distance
If there are distance datas connected with your workout, it loads it.
If there is no connected data, split time is not displayed.
You can check if it is connected with workout in Apple Health application.
There is a difference in the content of the distance data by the application.
| Measuring device | Connection | Connection at pause | |
| Zones | Apple Watch | yes | no |
| Apple's Workout app | Apple Watch | yes | no |
| RunKeeper | Apple Watch | yes | no |
| RunKeeper | iPhone | no | no |
| Runtastic | Apple Watch | no | no |
| Runtastic | iPhone | no | no |
| Nike+ Run Club | Apple Watch | yes | yes |
| Strava | Apple Watch | yes(summarized) | - |
| Strava | iPhone | yes(summarized) | - |
Split Time
If distance datas are connected with your workout, split time is displayed.
But it is not displayed when the distance is smaller than 1 km(mile).
Calculation of pace uses time excluding pause time.
It uses distance including pause time.
Nike + Run Club
Split time is incorrect if pose is included, due to different usage of distance data.
(The display on Zones may be a faster pace than it actually is.)
RunKeeper
It seems that the pace of split is calculated by the time including pause time.
Therefore, there is a possibility that it is different from the value with Zones.
Runtastic
Split time is not displayed because distance data is not connected to Workout.
