Know exactly when to start your next set. SetReady is the gym rest timer for weights that turns your Apple Watch into a recovery coach: it tracks your heart rate between sets and tells you when you are ready. Requires Apple Watch. Stop guessing your rest. Finish a set, tap it on your Watch, and SetReady tracks elapsed rest, remaining rest, the peak heart rate from your last set and how many beats you recover. A haptic tells you when it is time to get back under the bar. BUILT FOR THE GYM âĒ Rest timer between sets on Apple Watch, with haptic cues âĒ Live heart-rate recovery: peak, beats recovered and target âĒ Profiles for strength, hypertrophy, very heavy work or conditioning âĒ Big iPhone controls: next set, pause and end âĒ Keep your music or podcast playing while you lift YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE âĒ New home screen with your week, streak, last workout and rest profile âĒ Monthly calendar with time, set and calorie rings âĒ Training load charts and recovery trends âĒ Every session in detail: timeline, heart-rate zones and set-by-set rests âĒ Import workouts from Health, including runs, walks and rides with their route âĒ Shareable performance report OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO On the inner display, home, live workout, history and summary flow into two columns, and nothing is split by the fold. SETREADY PRO Unlock unlimited history, recovery and load trends, advanced rest window tuning, workout automation and shareable reports. Without Pro you can still train with Apple Watch, use the core rest timer and see your recent history. SetReady uses HealthKit, with your permission, to read heart rate and save workouts started on Apple Watch. SetReady provides workout timing guidance only and is not medical advice.
