HockeyTracker lets you record a full workout, from start to finish, without a phone. *HockeyTracker uses a proprietary shift tracking algorithm that is able to detect whether a place is on the ice or on the bench.  **Note that in order to calculate VO2Max, HockeyTracker uses your resting heart rate (as is set by Apple during period of inactivity). Series 0 Apple Watches are not capable of resting heart rates therefore VO2Max cannot be calculated at this time on Series 0 Watches.

It will request permission to access the relevant data types associated with a workout.
