I ran a trail 100K last fall and my Watch survived the almost 13.5 hours. Granted, I was carrying my iPhone with me and wearing a chest strap HRM, so a lot of the work was offloaded. But still — I was impressed.
I’ve also run a road marathon with the watch without the phone.
The downside is if you’re using the Workouts app, then your data is silo’d. The upsides is that the data is local and encrypted.
- cianmm 7y agoI recommend the app HealthFit which can sync Workouts data with pretty much everything else, including Strava. It also allows you automatically export FIT and GPX files to Dropbox if you’d like. It can’t yet automatically sync Runkeeper though. I started using it a year ago after I got annoyed at the Strava iOS app failing me once a week, and haven’t had any issues since.
- mike_pol 7y agoYou can use an app such as HealthFit (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/healthfit/id1202650514 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/healthfit/id1202650514) to export your data. Downside is that you have to pay for what should have been built in functionality but I guess $3 is reasonable. I use it all the time as I record my runs with the Workouts app and sync them to Strava (since Strava doesn't play nice with the health app and locks your data).
