If you exercise with an Apple Watch outdoors, you‘ll know you can get all sorts of information about your workout as well as the usual heart rate, time, and calorie count. Runners get GPS-powered information about their pace, stride, and cadence, while cyclists can get more information about the speed traveled during the workout, and the power they put out. With watchOS 10, you can even turn your phone into a basic cycling computer.
However, when working out indoors on an exercise bike or treadmill, you don’t get to use GPS to generate more information about your exercise session. You can calibrate your Apple Watch to more effectively monitor your pace during treadmill runs, but for the most part, you’re restricted to the basic indoor exercise metrics of time, heart rate, and calorie count.
