Best Smartwatch Heart Rate Monitors for Workout Trainer AI

You might be familiar with the famous Peter Drucker quote: “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” This principle is especially relevant in the world of health and fitness. Those who monitor their heart rate during workouts gain valuable insights into their performance and progress. As heart rate-enabled smartwatches become increasingly popular and accessible, we’re excited to share the top choices that seamlessly integrate with the Workout Trainer AI app . These tools are perfect for helping you stay on track and elevate your training to the next level!

Whichever your HR monitoring device you choose to connect with Workout Trainer, our player will display the heart rate like the screenshot below. Tap the gear icon if you want to adjust your paired bluetooth monitor settings (a good option to have checked if you’re at a gym and don’t want to pick up your neighbor’s HR device readings). As you play your workout, you’ll see your real time HR data for free. On top of that, there are many more advanced heart rate and performance stats offered with Workout Trainer Pro+ membership.

If you are an iOS device owner, basically any Apple iPhone edition within the past 5 years, you will be well-served with an Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 10, or Apple Watch Ultra 3.

WORKOUT TRAINER FOR ANDROID

If you’re a Android device owner, we recommend getting one of the latest Samsung watches or an Android Wear watch. Of the Samsung Galaxy watches, we really like the Samsung Galaxy Watch8, Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Watch7. These come in two sizes (40mm and 44mm) and offer bright Super AMOLED displays that are great for the outdoors.

Workout Trainer with HR Chest Strap Monitors

Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor is the gold standard for heart rate chest strap sensors using bluetooth lower energy (BLE). It easily connects with the Workout Trainer app, just make sure it is publicly broadcasting data and that you’ve enabled Workout Trainer AI to receive HR data from devices.

Workout Trainer HR data with your Garmin Watch

Whether you are and iOS or Android phone owner, the Workout Trainer AI app on your connected smart phone will read in the very accurate HR data from the Garmin Fēnix 8, Garmin Venu 3 or Garmin Forerunner line of watches. These are amazing multisport watches–Just remember that you will not get the companion Workout Trainer app experience in this case.

Make sure to download the Garmin Connect app. Ensure the device is connected/reading data. From the Settings section, go to Watch Sensors > Wrist Heart Rate is enabled with Broadcast Heart Rate turned on. Next, check your Garmin watch and tap the PLAY icon to enable.

Please note: We support the latest iOS and Android smartwatches including the Apple Watch, any Android Wear smartwatch, and Samsung Gear smartwatches. We also support many Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Heart Rate Monitors that publicly broadcast their data. However, some devices do not publicly broadcast their data such as Fitbit, which is why these devices are NOT supported at the moment.

Connect the heart rate device that works for you and start enjoying the latest Workout Trainer AI app’s HR-enabled features for major performance gains!
