Exercise tracking apps for phone/smartwatches
Discussion
I figured this would be better in here than the gadget or watch forums!
What do people use for tracking their exercise routines? I am a bit of data/stats geek - I had a Pebble watch for a couple of years which tracked steps and sleep and worked with runkeeper for runs, but I have just bought an Android Wear watch which seems to have a lot of options, but you can only really use one at a time.
Sadly it seems there is no native sleep tracking which is annoying so I will probably end up wearing my Pebble at night while my Android watch charges!
Runkeeper works although I've not tried it for a run yet, and I like the way it preseves GPS stuff and records everything.
Google Fit has all my old data from the Pebble but it seems to present it in a crap way and doesn't seem to keep all the data (GPS, heart rate, etc).
My watch (Ticwatch E) comes with an app called "Fitness" which does a similar thing but doesn't display much info and I guess it won't be that portable.
Something else, like Strava?
I had been hoping Google Fit would keep all the data (including sleep from the Pebble) in one place but unless I am using it wrong you can't see maps of where you've run etc. The phone showed a "map" of my heartrate over my last run at the end but I can't see it looking in the app on my phone.. Runkeeper looks the better option at the moment although, obviously, no sleep tracking.
Thoughts?
