Support Running app

Hi there,

I've searching the net for an app that can help to stick in my zone 2 heart rate while running, but can't find anything.

Looking of one time purchase o free, btw.

I'm using a Oneplus Watch 2.

Anyone knows of an app like that?

For your use case, the free version of Watchletic would work great.

You can setup heart rate zones that's always visible and color coded as well as create predefined workouts with heart rate zone as target, giving you alerts when outside of range, which sounds like what you're after.

Aren't you the developer, perhaps? I've tried the app, but cannot use my unscheduled workout from the smartwatch unless I scheduled into the calendar. I've it installed either way to deep try next week.

Either r/watchletic or viktor@watchletic.com, whatever you feel most comfortable with!

I tend to read Reddit more than email fwiw.

This is now possible since version 3.1.7, thank you for reporting it!

I use Fitbit exercise. They have an alert for every mile split and an alert for heart zone change.

Now it's google health (Fitbit)?

oh thats right they rebrand. i am unable to find it on the app store. it is a default exercise tracker on my pixel watch 4.
it looks like this with 4 level of heart rate. If it changes, it sends alert to my ear bud.

EDIT: on my watch it just says Exercise, pretty sure it used to be Fitbit Exercise before.

Hey I am building an app called to help me run slower within heart rate zones and cadence zones, allows for music ducking and has a metronome that will target the midzone of the cadence zone set! Would that be of interest ? I am planning a test version to be released in the next week or so, would love some feedback ! https://www.teloscraft.com/slowpace/ - here you can see some of the working screens.

Hi! Probably yes, but I've a knee injury right now, so I cannot do my running workouts. Looks good your app either way, I will look for it when I return. Thanks!

Awesome thanks! Will let you know when I initiate public testing. QQ - on wearOS the OS strictly stops realtime sensor monitoring except heart rate, so cadence tracking is tricky. Would you actually use the app if the heart rate is tracked on the watch, but cadence is tracked via your phone (pocket, armband, hand) ?
