RitmoStrokeWatch is an apple watch workout app for on the water rowing. Monitor and record your rowing workouts for Apple healthkit or upload to Strava. It uses an automated piece timing system that replaces the need for programming workouts or having to restart a timer to capture interval training. Workout summaries contain detailed metrics for each piece of the workout.
Data is collected by RitmoStrokeWatch only while the app is active and can be shared only by direct action of the user from within the app. There is no automated data sharing to FullCompression LLC (app creator) or to any third parties.
Users can share workout data (gps locations, heart rate, stroke rate etc) with Strava by setting up authentication with their own Strava profile thru the iPhone app. Note that currently user must take action to share each workout with Strava.
Users can use the iOS sharing feature (email, text, airdrop etc) from the iPhone app to share csv or tcx format files of their workout with whomever they chose. They can also choose to collect motion data (accelerometer, gyro, raw gps) from both the watch and iPhone app and share this data in the same way.Find the icon on your apple watch and start the app. (The app will work without the iPhone with you in the boat) Press ‘Start Rowing’ just before you begin rowing. If you have an ‘always on’ display and the watch is on a wrist that feathers you should be able to see the live display of stroke rate, pace etc. The feathering motion of your wrist may not always activate the view but the app is still recording your workout. You can touch the display to re-activate the view (presumably resting between pieces) and swipe right to see summary info on the most recent piece or swipe left to see workout totals and your current heart rate. Press “Done” when the workout is completed and press “Done” again to dismiss the summary. Now following the onscreen instruction to transfer the workout file to your iphone. This part requires that the iphone be present so that the watch can be paired to it. Now open the iphone app and go to the history tab. You should see your workout. Tap on it to go to the summary view. From there you can see piece summaries (if detected), metrics at each stroke, export as csv or tcx file and upload to strava. See Strava section in help for instructions on how to sync your strava account with RitmoStrokeWatch
