Most charts I’ve seen place a 130 pound person at 450-600 calories per hour of swimming. But it could take longer in tough locations like NYC. Actually, wait…one last thing. My Apple Watch series 0 was too dim in bright light and the watch wrist detection sometimes didn’t work quite right. Just start your run and go. Only workouts created within the Strava app are uploaded to Strava.). Stephen, One of the major weakness of the Apple Watch is the lack of ability to broadcast HR to a Garmin Edge. At that point for the next 6 or so minutes there’s some clear disagreement on what my HR is. I’m reluctantly resigned to seeing what Black Friday offers for a Garmin 645 or (if I really feel like gambling) the Coros Apex. Some apps require you to ‘start’ and ‘stop’ your sleep, which I find silly and 1980’s like. I would also like to be able to see my heart rate or get alerts while running. You'll support the site, and get ad-free DCR! See, normally when you have a fitness GPS watch and go to the sport modes two distinct things happen: 1) GPS acquisition begins: It goes out and finds satellites. ], > how problematic is the delay in turning screen on[?]. (Note: All of the charts in these accuracy sections were created using the DCR Analyzer tool. In a race like the World Championships, I didn’t want to take the risk (however small) that I’d have to get into a discussion with the referee that the Apple Watch was permitted, so I played it safe. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. In addition (and maybe as a result of its superior GPS tracking abilities), the current pace and rolling pace reported by the AW4 have been incredibly accurate and consistent. Here’s the straps. Is there an easy (or automated) workaround to get my runs on there as well? You can also use the Apple Watch as a Walkie Talkie with other people who have one. Coachmag™ is a registered trade mark. Plan2PEAK allows you to define HR, pace or power zones. Appreciate what you do for all of us fitness endurance athletes! The latter is particularly useful, showing your pace over the last mile or kilometre.

I really like it. Did two indoor rides of my Trainer Road plan routines, used Activity app on AW and TR on PC. As mentioned above there is no basic intervals mode, which would be really useful for many, but just as with running you can solve this problem with a third-party app. Is that a “mission Impossible” for me? I bought the watch because of your review. Get all your awesome high quality DCR kit and gear here! In the vast majority of quick directional changes it’ll overly smooth and even go off into the middle of nowhere. It’s like they both drew the same picture but one called it something significant different than the other. This isn’t available on iOS for other smartwatches. As some who mountain bikes alone think this is a great addition that I hopefully will never need to use. Want to compare the features of each product, down to the nitty-gritty? I can use my Hr strap, but I start to wonder if it’s even necessary…. (using your favorite – silly or non silly looking – BT audio source… . Hi, As ever, a thorough review. In general this isn’t an issue, as Apple’s wrist-raising detection algorithms are very good. Obviously they were pretty close to each other, but not all that close to what the Garmin measured. I’m only one user, but fwiw _accuracy_ seems perfectly fine, but the watch often doesn’t get any measurements at all for significant parts of the workout. Nice review. or you mean perhaps collect data without following a planned workout? Instead, the biggest changes came in the form of a significantly increased display/screen size of the two models. but you can, if you want. And I’ll probably still use the strap so I can transmit to my phone or Polar A300 so I can observe real time HR. Beyond that, one minor annoyance that has existed with every version of the Apple Watch remains – the lack of an always-on screen option. StrongApp: This is mainly designed for gym workouts, letting you track and program reps and rest intervals. Here, in non-satellite view. GPS accuracy still sucks. FWIW, runalyze.com gives an estimate of 39.01 for the same workout. Look at a. gpx file from your device – there are x, y, z, t co-ordinates – there is no distance or pace in the file. You can configure some options for activity tracking within the Watch configuration app, but most activity tracking is done via the ‘Activity’ app on your phone (left – watch app, right, activity app): These all mirror what you see on your watch itself, both in the Activity area as well as on most watch faces: The ultimate goal on your Apple Watch is to ‘close’ the rings Each ring represents a different daily goal to reach. an easy. I had the same complaint. That native workout app still won’t share your data with services like Strava. Using watch only, not watch and phone. C) There’s virtually not a single item to nitpick on this interval from the Apple Watch’s optical HR sensor. That’s why I say that it’s important to measure both accuracy and precision. When you’re working out, how often do you look at a watch screen, and how important is that to you? I’ve used that to drop box for some analysis. Additionally, you can use this same iOS app to configure the watch faces as well as other watch settings like how notifications are handled. The fact that those two watches end up with the same overall distance does not make them “nearly identical” for my purposes. As I head around the lollipop of a route, the Apple Watch easily sticks to the road like white on rice: Both the Garmin and Suunto units fail to track as closely as the Apple Watch does. I’m almost at the point where I’ll pay the cellular cost to run with just the watch but I like taking pictures on my runs sometimes so that would be another problem. And unfortunately the Overall pace is somehow an indicator I use. The first Apple watch was announced in 2014 and launched in the spring of 2015. It works well although sometimes I have to over accentuate the motion or wait one extra step before the screen goes on. And as a result, accuracy has improved – at least once you get past that first minute. It’s not completely clear if the power meter support is phone only, but maybe worth sending the devs a quick email to clarify, Plan2PEAK does power (cadence is in the works) and its use for tracking is free (the adaptive training plan part requires the monthly subscription) There is the export health data option. Though I know plenty of people use RunGap, here’s a bit of a review from last year – but one from a source I trust that walks through the functions. Nice review Ray, I think Apple watch series 4 is the best smartwatch so far. Is an always-on display important? I can tap on one or multiple workouts and manually share them to the services. You can check out my work and inspect the data yourself by googling my handle. thanks for your input – appreciated! You seem to be saying that older GPS devices may be more accurate for open water swimming that the newer ones? The second-generation heart rate sensor has four green leds and two infrared leds. Here’s a running workout recorded with the Apple Workouts app on the watch and uploaded to Garmin Connect with RunGap. There’s a gazillion other reviews out there that test things like LTE connectivity and the nuances of Apple Music on the device. Pool swimming won’t use GPS of course, but rather the accelerometer internally, so it needs to know the length of the pool to be able to determine the total distance. Does this still hold if we look back? I do heart rate interval training. But, Desfit’s (awesome) video on the subject is here: link to youtube.com, Although I can’t claim the same testing rigor, my observations with a Series 3 LTE Apple Watch and watchOS 5 are very similar. how much the watch varies from trial to trial. Ohh well, I’ll have a beer or two after the ride so I don’t focus on that (at least for a short period of time…). But the non-exercise features of Apple Watch (like phone calls) are appealing to have when I’m out on a long run. The reason was I wanted a watch to keep track of all activities in one app rather than have them spread around. Hello DC do you know power2run app? See those other companies do have smart replies for some of their newer devices on Android phones. Aside from that extra irritation the Apple Watch’s cycling capabilities are similar to running, with the native Workouts app offering basic stats and an array of third-party apps like Strava and Cyclemeter providing more detail. I’m 11 months into my Apple Watch journey (series 3 and now 4) and absolutely nothing is really tempting me back to Garmin after a decade of Garmin watches. It would be interesting to know if Apple and Polar optical wrist heart rate monitor works with accuracy for swimming. Sometimes those changes are significant from version to version, and other times they’re more subdued. Very helpful. I didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription just for an export service, so I was happy to find WorkOutDoors and its ability to record and export GPX files. No issue this way really. Next, let’s head over to openwater swimming. AW is a “core” device as far as BT is concerned and cannot be a peripheral at the same time (whereas iphone can) ergo it currently can’t be done , The list of workouts is much longer – they are just not visible. For a variety of reasons I’ve been wearing my AW3 continuously during the day, including rides. Awesome! Inspecting the positional accuracy of the data vs. a map or other devices is directly evaluating the quality of the GPS data, from which all other metrics are derived. I have a fenix 5 plus and an AW4 cellular. Thank you for the great review! From the design to features, a lot was got right. Well, that purple line is showing exactly that. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds! It seems you can track your “speed” when doing a bike ride but not when you run. Your choice, though, the Apple Watch will only track one of them. (or an Apple Watch 4 obviously) IT PAYS TO READ THE WHOLE THING. This has included runs in: Amsterdam, Banff mountains (Canada), and Cancun (Mexico). In the UK/EU/Australia/New Zealand? I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been. Nope, Apple actually fictionally smooths your corners in GPS tracks to make them look sweeping and majestical. Sworkit and Seven are two such apps, with both providing the exercises you should do and how long you should do them for, with pictures on the watch screen showing the correct form for the exercise. I can have a GPS track that’s 100% wrong, but still gives the correct final distance. Additionally, you won’t find features like fancy interval training in the Apple Watch either. Sorry if I missed this in the article or comments but will the Apple Watch 4 be replacing your Fenix 5 Plus in Gear I Use? If in tight dirty places e.g. I haven’t used this one as much merely since I’ve mostly just used HealthFit+. (For road running, all of the watches performed fine.) The average heart rate and the slow increase in heart rate (coinciding with growing fatigue) all seems reasonable, but the water interferes with even a tightened watch band, correct? While certainly Apple has the Nike variant, it appears they’ve taken the co-branding a bit too far. But I only manage to export activities and no steps. ps: I have the cellular version of the Apple Watch. I personally leave the power save mode and running pause off, since I want all the data! Well, that’s a complex question that frankly depends a lot on what you want out of a fitness watch. Great review! It’s not equivalent to a traditional triathlon mode because the activities will be recorded separately and you don’t get transition times, but it’s handy if you’re in the gym switching between different type of exercise. True, but these days it’s actually pretty rare to see misalignments in satellite data (which is what I primarily use for my comparisons). But can rather just swap out the underlying box component based on demand. My apple watch did this until they upgraded to IOS 13. (the dots represent where it loossez GPS signal and uses internal accelerometer). Not the Apple apps, but there are plenty of third-party ones that do. With the Apple Workouts app, no. if you want a super precise track drawn on a map, you are going to find that the AW GPS is about as accurate (in terms of matching the exact location you traveled) as the latest generation garmins (which are less accurate then the older ones), but if you intend the measurement of distance hence pace/speed, then you AW is definitely more accurate then the latest garmins IF you are using apple’s own activity app or an app like Plan2PEAK which uses the apple distance measurement and NOT its GPS data. a wobbly track that shows long is cancelled out when a corner is cut, reading short. AW’s coating is quite strong and with little spacial awareness of my arms AW4 stays quite safe against bumbs. Maybe they’re of interest! Good to know. Its LiQuidSkin Apple Watch Series 4/5 Screen Protector, the best Apple Watch screen protector out now, blends in seamlessly with your phone screen and allows for full touch control of your screen with no discernible lag. I skipped Apple Watch 3 last year after reading DCR talk about GPS accuracy issues. Hi Ray, Apple has also added auto recognition of runs so you don’t have to manually start a session – the Watch will detect that you are running and buzz at you to ask if you want to start tracking it. the Plan2PEAK app shows you sensor status (such as HR, GPS and power – should you have paired it) on the header, so you can wait to hit “start” until you have a full lock on all sensors wanted. – Needs a WhatsApp app Here’s my most recent gadget recommendations guide and trainers here – covering almost every category of sports gadgets out there. It was a nice change, a new UI that I’ve never seen, the way the data fields are display, the music integration, the miles,/laps nudges, etc. or freewheel? Does it require Stryd app, or any other app (don’t care about power, just pace). Note that I would suggest folks read this thread to understand a bit behind what Apple is doing from a doctor’s perspective. In my experience, apps for other devices (Garmin, Polar, Suunto, …) only write minimal data (some more minimal than others). (So not time per km/mile) Specifically, these platforms. For real workouts I use Garmin 820 (I actually like the touch screen!). link to connect.garmin.com. I start the workout and wait until it acquires heart rate before I start moving. Thank you for the – as always – most helpful and insightful review of the apple watch. My biggest gripe, and I realize it’s not entirely Apple Watch, is the way my overall time and splits is different when it is migrated to Strava from what it was in the Activity Workout on the watch data. Apple S4 is looking solid against the top dog GPS sport watches. You would have to use the cumbersome process someone above described to go from HealthFit to Garmin Connect. The point about long sleeves and gloves is important. The Apple Watch’s lack of accuracy with heart rate tracking during exercise has been a bugbear of mine with previous generations, to the point where I’d generally turn it off entirely, because I’ll take extra battery life over inaccurate data any day. Would be very helpful in recording route notes/trail diaries. Only the reference track was slightly better (because it was above water, hence the reference part). link to itunes.apple.com, There might be another area in which Apple’s accuracy is tops: estimating VO2 Max. Another question, when I run with Nike run app, the watch screen will not display run metrics unless I touch it , vs when apple workout app, would that affect GPS accuracy? The 230 was a great sports watch, but the Apple Watch is great too, and can do a lot more stuff. overall, you are right, it’s just 2% – I will log some more workouts over the course of next week to see whether this was only a one-time discrepancy or whether the AW will stick to the longer distance than the Ambit and Strava are indicating. Read Apple Watch Series 4 review (Image credit: Apple) 6. GSMArena.com: Apple Watch Series 4 user opinions and reviews. All of the data goes into the massive repository that is Apple Health, which is accessible to apps (with your approval) via HealthKit. ), you can use the crown+side buttons to do manual lap splits. In addition, the Apple Watch will also alert you if you forget to stop tracking, so your average pace isn’t knocked out of whack because you sat down for five minutes before remembering to press the finish button. I had that issue with an older Apple Watch, but now you just lock your screen and you’re good to go. One more thing, is there a way to turn off the auto start/stop function? Some 3rd party apps have more details, but again, not Apple themselves. A watch could have horrible GPS tracking but still end up with the correct distance after taking into account all of its GPS misses. I have almost a month’s worth of comparative data using Garmin and Polar (fitness index). Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what satellite(s) the AW uses for GPS? – I tracked a 4hr run (battery saver mode mostly), playing 1hr music to bluetooth, and making 15mins calls, used 50% battery. However, RunGap can read data from just about any service, and it can successfully write the full workout data to Health. The Suunto is off in the bushes, and the Garmin has a slight wobble to it. 3) Can you control the watch while wearing gloves during a workout? It’s compared against a Garmin Instinct GPS watch on the other wrist, and then a TICKR-X heart rate strap via a Suunto Trainer Wrist HR. It’s not a huge issue, but worth noting if you’re building up for a race and trying to hit a certain pace with your training runs. Which, is also fine. Likewise, an Edge 810 to iPod Nano sized iPhone on a K-Edge Mount would be cookin’ with gas, too. However, to assume there were no underlying fitness changes would be the biggest mistake you (or any sports tech company) could make. I always had the notion that Apple could make 2 products. Oh – and in case you’re wondering about the Nike+ Edition, there’s only a handful of differences there to the regular non-Nike+ variants: – Nike+ Edition has unique Nike+ watch faces HealthFit seems to be interesting. You can wear it a tiny bit looser the rest of the day. Rather, to point out that merely selling millions more of something doesn’t mean it’s the defacto answer for everyone. Remember that the Apple Watch is *not* an always-on display. Depending on your perspective – this could fall under either camp. Great review, thanks! it depends of what you you are looking for in terms of GPS “accuracy”. I’m very interested in your experience with running power meter on the polar vantage. No problem, the product comparison data is constantly updated with new products and new features added to old products! It lets you follow a short routine on your watch and reminds you to get into the habit of doing it. Good with Lazer/LifeBEAM and Scosche Rhythm HRMs depending upon season and the Garmin Edge’s GPS. It’s partially why there’s no question in my mind that the Apple Watch is the best all-around smartwatch. I’ve been using the Strava app, but wanted the ability to control music while I ran. The test included measuring VO2 Max the legit way (treadmill, oxygen mask, etc.). And yes, it features the cast of Toy Story.. I don’t even bother pairing my Epix to my iPhone any more. Thus sometimes it’s long, sometimes it’s short. And in fact, there were many tests over the last month that I’ve been wearing this where the Apple Watch trounced Garmin, Suunto, and Polar when it came to accuracy of not just heart rate readings – but GPS as well. I’m a big big fan of those. No sensors except HR natively. For example, Stryd does that today with their running power meter. Desfit (YouTube) did a comparison with AW4 and a few other fitness trackers recently. Hey folks, just select the “Free Training” option. Picked up Suunto 9 this year, and was really disappointed with the OHR – (I have little sissy wrists). You can do what I do, wear the Apple Watch and use something else, like your 230, to do the actual tracking when you’re doing a real activity. Next, as noted, I use just my daily training routes. regards from Argentine. Which is a bit of pain. Have you been able to assess at all the accuracy of the heart sensor in water? Thanks for great review. Sometimes it fixes itself and sometimes I have to reconnect it, but I like to keep my phone on silent throughout the day so I’ll miss all my calls when it’s not working. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by! Plus, wearing multiple watches on the same wrist is well known to impact optical HR accuracy. I compared it against the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, Suunto 9, Polar Vantage V, Suunto Trainer, and COROS Pace – and it easily beat all of them. I was hoping to ditch the HR chest strap. If you get iSmoothRun ($5? I swim, bike and run. I’m headed to Washington DC – what do you recommend for training? The only point on the entire route where the Apple Watch was briefly off-course was in the lower image, to the middle-left, where it goes a bit south of the road for perhaps 100m in duration (but only about 10 meters offset). I’m curious whether any of the third-party apps let you get a solid HR lock (and/or GPS, but I’m more interested in HR lock) before actually starting your workout. I use Strava and Garmin for tracking and analysis and don’t really want to wear two watches when I swim and run. Watch faces aside, when it comes to installing apps, that’ll happen through your iOS device. There’s no native sleep tracking, and even if there was the battery life is still too short to allow you to wear the Watch at night. I am sure it would be super easy for Apple to add that. Use of such devices will result in disqualification.” This language does not include the in-a-distracting-manner qualification that you mention; it more suggests a flat prohibition. No way I could use for track workouts with that 3-2-1 countdown. It’s not a great experience; however, it is by no means a showstopper. There are of course some 3rd party apps on the Apple Watch you can leverage, but they’re generally kinda messy to use. Alternatively, for everything else on the planet, simply buy your goods from Amazon via the link below and I get a tiny bit back as an Amazon Associate. – Tracking paddling/SUP/kayak requires a 3rd party app (yet to test) running in the rain) will randomly trigger taps on the screen . It doesn’t look like it will do it through is native OS5 running application but I’m curious if anyone knows if it would do it through a different running app. Can I say – as a conclusion – that the Apple Watch 4 is a great smartwatch with amazing sport features, while as the Garmin Vivoactive 4 wins at sport features yet having neat smartwatch features? > But I’m wondering how big an annoyance the lack of always on screen is. No cost to you, easy as pie! Thanks yor your replies! No, it’s a long way from doing that. Am I doing something wrong where the crown is not pausing the run? you are right. And as a final clarification, I’m talking about the standard Apple Workout app. ISmoothRun sais in it’s App description it would work with Powermeters for cycling. But in time I’ve actually come to appreciate details on it. DC Rainmaker 2019 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. Be it the more limited battery life than others, the not-always-on screen, or just the lack of a multitude of buttons; it’s not likely to dominate the endurance market anytime soon. Really enjoy AW4 and the fact that it can go from training and listening to music, podcasts and even audible, then use it as smart watch rest of the day. 2. Or I’ll just return to use the Garmins. So when riding I would wear my Apple Watch and a Wahoo Fitness Tickr Fit HR arm band. Oh no! But in order to get that data to those platforms I have to use a 3rd party app – and without question my favorite is HealthFIT+. I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. However when I use the Workout app it does not display my HR but does record it I think as I see the HR in the analysis. The algo of Fitbit is to track your movement but not actually using the sensor to measure your HR while hiking, it’s somewhat cheating in fact, that’s why reading has no meaning at all. But not all of them actually run on the watch itself. I have the same issue on the begining of workout…. “Electrocardiograph software for over-the-counter use. To answer your question directly: I wouldn’t do anything special. Using a communication When I use the Strava app on the treadmill it is uploading my elapsed time instead of just using my moving time. Those workouts include a wide variety of intensities and conditions, making them great for accuracy testing. The app already can see heart rate data. You can also set a pace target and get alerts from the Watch if you’re running too fast or too slow. Satellite feed imagery is taken straight-down in all consumer imagery I’ve seen in mapping services to date (either way, it’s an option in Google Maps as to how its presented, so not really an issue). It’s just going to behave like this. As for which device is more accurate, there’s not one answer for this. Not that it really matters (it’s just a number. You also say in your review of the Vantage V, that Polar admitted to basically doing the same as Firstbeat with the recovery advice. The yellow line is the reference track using a GPS atop a swim buoy behind me (see this video for details, also embedded up earlier in the sports section). I never felt the need to do this, and I’m not really sold on it being anything other than a gimmick. I realize this is hard to test in the Netherlands, and it’s probably not super important for most people, but how does the altimeter/barometer stack up, both in terms of absolute accuracy and net vertical? Swimming With The Apple Watch Series 4 Both indoor and outdoor swims are tracked on the Apple Watch, and with the latter the GPS is engaged so you get a map of your swim … When I first saw it I dismissed it as an abomination of the post-Jobs Apple. In my experience the display turns on when I raise my wrist about 9 out 10 times. I’ll get a notification a few seconds later on my phone that it’s uploaded it to Strava, TrainingPeaks, and even Dropbox in my case. As well as the yet-implemented ECG functionality that the company plans to release later this year. New editions have followed since then, with the most recent Apple Watch being the Series 3.
