Apple Watch Integration Deep Dive: Hammr on Your Wrist

Water, food, workouts, insights, double-tap set logging, live GPS outdoors, RPE from Watch motion, and Live Activity — Hammr's Watch companion explained.

Standalone Watch app

Hammr ships a full Apple Watch companion — not a remote control for iPhone. Browse Readiness, log workouts, scan or quick-add meals, and check macro progress from your wrist.

Gym session UX

  • Double-tap to log a completed set without tapping tiny buttons

  • Control Center and quick actions for fast session control

  • RPE estimation from Watch motion during sets

  • Rest timers synced between Watch and iPhone

  • Live Activity on iPhone shows current exercise and rest on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

Outdoor GPS

Start run, walk, hike, or cycle from Watch or phone. GPS is used only for outdoor sessions — never for strength workouts in the gym.

Nutrition and hydration on Watch

Log water and food from the wrist. Barcode scanning is free on iPhone; Watch surfaces quick-add flows for meals you eat between sets.

Scores on your wrist

Readiness, Recovery, Mental Stress, and Sleep complications keep wellness context visible — Mental Stress measures psychological load, not workout strain.

Free tier on Watch

Core workout logging, nutrition, basic readiness, outdoor GPS, and Watch companion features are available without Premium. Adaptive macros, AI Coach, and deep readiness dashboards are Premium.

Ready to try it? Download Hammr on iOS and start with free tracking — or Premium’s 7-day free trial.
