When reliable Apple Watch heart data is available, it also considers HRV and resting heart rate against your personal baselines. Rather than guessing when important data is missing, PulseTrack clearly tells you when more recovery evidence is needed before displaying a score. WHY THIS SCORE? See the factors behind your Readiness estimate: • Sleep duration compared with your usual level • Heart rate variability when available • Resting heart rate when available • Activity from your last 7 completed days • A clear data-confidence level TRACK YOUR ACTIVITY • Today’s steps and walking distance • Activity Rings when available • Weekly steps and exercise load • Workout counts and type breakdown • Interactive 7-day trends • Customizable step goals • Clear summaries and highlights WORKS ON IPHONE No Apple Watch?
