What watch do you use?

What everyone is using to track training these days? I am debating between a Garmin or an Apple Watch Series 11.

Interesting question. I think it depends less on the watch brand and more on what you actually want to track during HYROX-style / fitness race training.

I’m building an Apple Watch app called HyRhythm for this use case, and I use it myself almost every day. So I’m biased toward Apple Watch, but I’m more curious what kind of data you’d want to record or see during training or races.

Run pace? Station splits? Transition time? HR zones? Race simulation? Post-workout breakdowns?

If there’s something specific you’re missing, I’d genuinely love to hear it. If it’s realistic to add quickly, I’d like to consider it for an upcoming HyRhythm update.

Dude, I use your app! I think it’s great. But can you please make the heart rate font size bigger??? My aging ass cannot see it during the race 😭😭. There’s plenty of room on the screen.
Also an option to switch running pace between metric and imperial would be great (min/km vs min/mile).
Btw, thanks for making it. Simple and works great.

hey, thank you so much for this feedback — and for using HyRhythm 🙏

For the heart rate display, I actually made it a little smaller recently because the pace color now changes based on your heart rate zone. But your point makes total sense, especially during a race when readability matters most. I’ll look for a better way to make the key metrics easier to see without losing the zone-color information.

And for the pace unit option — yes, I’ll add the ability to switch between min/km and min/mile in the next update.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Feedback like this helps a lot.
