PaceGrid records GPS, pace, splits and heart rate on iPhone and Apple Watch, with Bluetooth chest straps, offline maps and saved routes. RECORD YOUR WORKOUT Follow distance, pace, time and splits. Review your route and elevation afterwards, or record from Apple Watch without carrying your phone. CONNECT YOUR HEART RATE Pair a compatible Bluetooth heart-rate strap from the Record screen.

SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Explore training load, heart-rate zones, workout trends and recovery estimates. These estimates help you interpret your history; they do not diagnose conditions or guarantee injury prevention.
