## What is Dials?

Your Recovery, Strain and Sleep from WHOOP, right on your Apple Watch face. You see them every time you check the time, without picking up your phone.

WHAT YOU SEE
• Recovery with its green, yellow or red zone
• Day Strain on WHOOP's scale from 0 to 21
• Sleep: hours vs. needed and your sleep stages
• HRV and resting heart rate, today vs. your prior 30 days
• Steps since you woke up

COMPLICATIONS
• Overview: Recovery, Strain and Sleep side by side
• Recovery, Strain and Sleep as a ring, in a corner or as a large card
• HRV, resting heart rate and steps as small round dials
• A short text line for faces that have one
Overview and Sleep also show up in the Smart Stack.

MADE FOR THESE FACES
• Modular Ultra: Overview in the middle, HRV, resting heart rate and steps below
• Wayfinder: Recovery, Strain and Sleep in three corners
• Modular Duo: Overview and last night's sleep in the two large slots
• Infograph and other faces with round or corner slots
The iPhone app shows you step by step which complication goes where.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install Dials on your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
2. Sign in to WHOOP once on your iPhone.
3. Add the complications to your watch face.
From then on your watch loads new numbers by itself, about every 30 minutes. Recovery and Sleep appear once WHOOP has scored your night. Strain and steps update during the day.

YOUR DATA
Your numbers go from WHOOP straight to your Apple Watch. No server of ours stores them. Only the sign-in passes through a small server that adds the app's WHOOP key and never sees your numbers. No account, no ads, no tracking. Dials only reads: nothing changes in your WHOOP account. You can disconnect anytime in Settings.

WHAT YOU NEED
• A WHOOP membership
• Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later
• iPhone with iOS 26 or later

Dials is free.

Dials is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WHOOP. It uses the WHOOP API. WHOOP is a trademark of WHOOP, Inc. Dials shows your data as WHOOP provides it and gives no medical advice.
