Important: this feature is working well for Paddle SUP, it is still in beta for some sports (Surfski, Kayaking, Rowing, Dragonboat, Outrigging), meaning it's still under refinement. You might encounter some wrong calculations, and we're working hard to improve it. Your patience and feedback during this phase are invaluable to us.
Waterspeed leverages the sensors of the Apple Watch and an AI model to detect paddle or rowing movements. This allows us to count strokes and display stroke rate and distance per stroke.
Real-Time Stroke Rate
The goal of this feature is to provide you with a real-time stroke rate on the Apple Watch. You can select the related screen from the settings or by tapping the screen to see the SPM (Strokes Per Minute).
Detailed Analysis
At the end of the activity, you’ll see the total stroke rate, distance per stroke, and max rate in 60 seconds on the Activity page. In the chart, you can overlay speed on stroke rate and pace on stroke rate. By clicking on "Split analyses," you can view the stroke rate and distance per stroke by distance split (e.g., every KM).
