Another tick in the box for the Apple Watch 5 after moving away from a Garmin 945 as it performed very well whilst skiing over the past 2 days. Battery usage for 6 hours skiing was only 40%, using the Ski Tracks app.
Everything worked fine, it updated Apple Health (and the all important activity rings) and using Healthfit I was able to sync to Strava where segments etc showed up fine.
The company says the app has these feature:
- Live Run Information including Last Run.
- Altimeter
- Maximum and Average Ski Speeds.
- Vertical
- Calories
- Cross Country Ski Mode.
- Snow Shoe Mode.
- Markers
- Summary with Activity Rings.
When you stop the app it syncs to your iPhone, where you can see more detailed info, as the screenshot below shows.
