If you've got an Apple Watch, you can follow your Edge workouts from your wrist. The Edge watchOS app mirrors your plan so you can start sessions, see your next exercise and capture heart rate without having to touch your phone mid-workout.

Here's what you need to know.


What Edge on Apple Watch can do

  • Running sessions – start an Edge run from your wrist and let the watch track your distance, pace and heart rate.

  • Strength sessions – see your next exercise, sets and reps without pulling your phone out between sets.

  • Conditioning sessions – follow HIIT and circuits with timers and heart rate on screen.

  • Workout summary – at the end of a session, see your key stats and mark the workout as complete.

  • HealthKit – your workout is saved to the Apple Health app so it counts towards your move rings and syncs back to Edge.


Installing the Edge watchOS app

  1. Install Edge on your iPhone from the App Store (search for Edge Hybrid).

  2. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.

  3. Scroll to the list of available apps and install Edge on your watch.

  4. Open Edge on your watch - you'll be asked to grant HealthKit and Motion permissions. Accept these so Edge can track your sessions properly.


Starting a workout from your watch

  1. Open Edge on your Apple Watch

  2. Pick the session you want to do from today's plan

  3. Tap Start - the watch will begin tracking and guide you through each block or exercise

  4. At the end, tap Finish to see your summary and save the workout

If your phone is in your pocket, your Edge app will also update with progress as you train.


If something's not working

  • Make sure your iPhone and watch are paired and connected via Bluetooth.

  • Check that you've granted the HealthKit permissions Edge asked for on first launch. You can review them in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Edge on your iPhone.

  • Restarting the watch and reopening Edge can fix most sync issues.
