Know every climb. Beat your best.
LoveToBike now recognises climbs you have ridden before and compares your effort to your personal record — live on your wrist. Records are stored and compared separately for each workout type, so a ride on the road bike never mixes with one on the e-bike or another sport. See whether you are faster or slower as you climb, and keep the result on each finished climb in the list.
See your climbs in the climb view: swipe right during a workout and the climb view appears. In the normal training view you can also tell when you are chasing a new climb record — the color of the arrow in the climb field shows you.
Your climb records stay on the Apple Watch. Want a clean slate? Delete all stored climb records anytime in the LoveToBike settings on your iPhone.
