Workout tracking accuracy was good enough for basic and steady activities, but screen limits, interval HR problems, and limited on-device feedback held it back for serious training.
Pros: fitness coaching, Strava compatibility
Cons: music controls, third-party app compatibility
Workout tracking ranged from excellent strength and workout-span handling to concerns about underreported heart rate or strain in strength sessions.
Pros: activity reminders, goal tracking
Cons: music controls, smartphone notifications
Workout tracking ranges from seamless and accurate for casual use to unreliable for demanding sports, GPS sessions, or fragmented workouts.
Pros: weight, step counting accuracy
Cons: cadence tracking, elevation tracking
Workout tracking accuracy was uneven, with acceptable results for some workouts but repeated concern that sports tracking and fast intervals were not a strength.

Workout tracking was repeatedly called a weak spot, especially for accurate exercise heart rate and detailed training analysis.
