Overview
** WatchHR works with both the SquadHR and TeamHR apps on iPhone or iPad.
WatchHR lets you transmit heart rate data from your Apple Watch, replacing the need for a Bluetooth heart rate sensor. It sends your heart rate to the SquadHR or TeamHR app on an iPhone or iPad, where it can be displayed on a large TV. Now you can easily share your heart rate in group fitness classes or team practice sessions—using just your Apple Watch!
