Your AppleWatch can pair and sync data with compatible cardio equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, indoor bikes, and more, providing you with more accurate information about your workout.

Pair your AppleWatch with gym equipment

1. Check if the equipment is compatible—youʼll see “Connects to AppleWatch” or “Connect to AppleWatch” on the equipment.

2. Make sure your watch is set to detect gym equipment—open the Settings app on your AppleWatch, tap Workout, then turn on Detect Gym Equipment.

3. Hold your AppleWatch within a few centimeters of the contactless reader on the gym equipment, with the display facing the reader.

   A gentle tap and beep confirm that your AppleWatch is paired.

If Detect Gym Equipment is off in Settings on your AppleWatch, open the Workout app , then hold your AppleWatch near the contactless reader on the gym equipment, with the display facing the reader.
