What's New in Zone 2 Buddy
2.0
November 6, 2026
The biggest update since launch. Zone 2 Buddy now records the workout instead of just watching it. REAL WORKOUTS ON YOUR WRIST Start on Apple Watch and every session saves as a genuine Apple Health workout — heart rate, calories, distance, and GPS route. It closes your rings and shows up in Fitness alongside everything else. PICK ANY SPORT All 82 Apple Watch workout types are now startable, indoor and outdoor, each with the right distance metric and route recording — cycling, running, rowing, hiking, swimming, skiing, strength, and the rest. SPOKEN ZONE ALERTS Optional voice coaching that calls out your heart rate and whether to ease off or push. It ducks your music instead of stopping it. BETTER ZONES Set zones by percentage of max heart rate or the Karvonen (heart rate reserve) method, pulling your resting HR straight from Health. Zone boundaries are more accurate, and they persist properly across devices. HISTORY Every workout, with time spent in each zone, distance, calories, and route. A NEW LOOK Redesigned first-run experience that actually explains Zone 2 training, plus a new app icon. INTRODUCING ZONE 2 BUDDY PRO • LIVE DASHBOARD — mount your iPhone on the handlebars for big, glanceable heart rate, zone, speed, and distance, streamed live from your watch • WEEKLY TRENDS — time-in-zone charts week over week, so you can watch your aerobic base build • WEEKLY RECAP — a plain-English read on your training week, written entirely on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Nothing is uploaded. • CUSTOM ZONES — tune every zone boundary to your own physiology • LIVE ACTIVITY — heart rate and zone on your iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while a watch workout runs Zone alerts, all 82 sports, workout recording, and history stay free. FIXES Zone boundary rounding, a timer leak during long sessions, a crash when ending a workout, and faster heart rate queries.
