Its heart rate readings were accurate in testing, but you will need a connected device nearby while you work out, as it doesn’t have any onboard memory to store data on its own.

I need a personal trainer. Not just to motivate me to get off the couch in the first place but also to push me out of my comfort zone mid-workout so I burn some real calories and maybe even build muscle. I’m meeting with my trainer, Jorge, later this evening so he can subject me to an hour of torment for my own betterment. Apple wants to put Jorge out of a job. Workout Buddy, a new feature headed to your Apple Watch later this fall, can provide a pep talk via your connected AirPods during workouts.
