Track what heart rate zone you are in

No, I don't believe so.
Now you can certainly just calculate the zones and remember what your threshold HR is, and compare to the number on the display.
There may be third party apps that are better oriented for HR zone training.
BTW - please don't fall for the old bs 220-age for max HR. That formula is about as accurate as using some number less age to find your shoe size. Do some research on identifying a closer estimate of HRmax. Tip - if the method doesn't involve a bunch of sweat, it's probably not going to give you something specific to you rather than some average over a population of individually different people.

No, but there are plenty of apps that do, the best of them by far being WorkOutDoors.
WoD is the bestest. Tried and tested many times over. It can’t be beat.
Thanks everyone! Just tried WorkOutDoors on a test walk and it perfect for tracking HR zones!
Should you need or want to talk with the Developer, he is a active member of the forum. @cfc
WorkOutDoors: New workout features
I guess that Apple’s exercise minute algorithm didn’t consider your pace or heart rate high enough to be considered as exercise for that particular walk. If your dog is anything like mine then occasionally stopping to sniff something probably doesn’t help!

Continuing with fitness, I highly suggest the following app as well. Superb app for phone and watch and the developer is also an active member here.
