Rowing with Apple Watch 7 ?

[Astrohunter]

Hi,

I am rowing on a Concept 2 machine.
Does the Apple Watch has any cool stuff for this type of exercise ? Like will it be able to count burn calories etc ?

Thanks

My old watch can automatically recognize when I'm rowing after a couple of minutes, once I confirmed, it will count the times and estimate calories...

And is there an option to set it up manually ?
Also does it sometimes not detect it ?

Thanks

The PM5 monitor on the Concept 2 has a lot of functionality and data that you cannot get from the Rower workout on the Apple Watch. You can connect the PM5 to your iPhone with the ErgData app and include all of the data in your health settings. You can also add a chest heart rate monitor.

I use my AW for almost all of my different types of workouts but take it off when I row and use the data from the PM5 instead.
