What's New in WATCH LINK Heart Rate App

- Fixed a WatchLink Pod connection bug from the last update

User reviews

Love it!

I went from a Garmin watch to an Apple Watch. I hated the Garmin but started sweating when I realized it was no easy feat to get my heart rate incorporated into my Garmin Edge cycling workouts. The Watch Link is great. I put a rubber band through the little handle on the POD and keep it attached to my Edge when in the house so I don’t misplace it. I toss it in my handlebar bag when riding. I just have to start a Watch Link workout on my watch and I’m good to go.

Best App for NordicTrack Rower & Treadmill

I have the RW900 Rower and Commercial 2450 Treadmill. This app and USB are the best solution if you’re looking for an easy, foolproof way to connect your iWatch to your equipment.

Not working on IOS 26

Unfortunately, the app on the Watch is no longer working after updating to iOS 26. It crashes right away. It would be greatly appreciated if you could fix this issue.

Broadcasts Apple Watch heart rate to bike computer

This amazing app meets a real need for Apple Watch wearing cyclists. This app and the associated pod allow the Apple Watch to send heart rate data to a bike computer in real time. With this solution, I no longer have to wear a chest strap or a Garmin watch to read heart rate data on the Garmin Edge 530 bike computer. The Watch Link app also sends cycling activity to Apple Health so the activity shows up in your activity ring totals.

Reliably transmits Apple Watch heart rate

I can now use my Apple watch for both outdoor cycling, and indoor cycling with Zwift. This effortlessly connects my Apple Watch heart rate to my Garmin 840 bicycle computer for outdoor rides. I have done 50 mile rides and it barely dented the watch and phone battery capacity. It also makes connections to Zwift super easy, as the Zwift workaround is flaky. I could not be happier with this after trying some other similar products that were not consistent in their connections.
