Useful readings when they’re available.

Pair Movenue’s structured iPhone coach with optional heart-rate, pace, and distance readings from a compatible Apple Watch.

WHAT IT CAN DO

Bring selected session readings into view.

During an active iPhone workout, the companion can provide available HealthKit heart rate and location-based pace and distance estimates. The core routine coach remains usable without a Watch.

HR

Heart rate

Current, average, and maximum heart-rate readings may appear when HealthKit permission and usable sensor data are available.

KM

Pace and distance

The Watch can use location during an active workout to estimate current pace, total distance, and distance within the current set.

Compact workout state

See the active step and useful session state on the Watch while the iPhone remains the primary workout coach.

WHAT YOU CONTROL

Permissions stay with you.

  • Allow or deny HealthKit access in Apple settings
  • Allow location only when you want pace and distance
  • Use manual iPhone coaching without Watch readings
  • Keep live participant metric sharing off by default
Important

These are fitness estimates, not medical measurements.

Hardware, permissions, connectivity, movement, fit, environment, and sensor conditions affect availability and accuracy. Never rely on Movenue for diagnosis, emergency detection, or a decision about whether it is safe to continue exercising.

REQUIREMENTS & TROUBLESHOOTING

A few things need to line up.

The reviewed build requires iOS 17 or later and watchOS 10 or later on compatible paired devices. An active iPhone workout, granted permissions, available readings, and a healthy device connection are required.

Seeing “NA”?

Confirm the workout is active, the Watch app is available, and the relevant Health and Location permissions are allowed.

Readings delayed?

Give the devices time to reconnect and check Watch fit, movement, power state, and environmental conditions.

Still need help?

READY WHEN YOU ARE

The Watch is optional. A clear session is not.

Build and follow routines on iPhone, then add available Watch readings when they help.
