Fitness SS is a simple Apple Watch application that provides a second screen to help monitor running and walking workouts. It is not intended to replace a fitness tracking application you may be using, but to complement other applications. It is designed to provide quick access to important information without added accounts, complexity or external dependencies.
Fitness SS was born out of our frustration with existing solutions and we hope you will also find it useful. Some of the specific goals we tried to address include the following. We welcome feedback on ways we can make it more useful to you.

StabilityWorkout tracking applications, in our experience, can have issues with their companion watch apps. The issues can range from incomplete functionality or in some cases instability. Fitness SS is designed and tested with stability as a priority.
Missing DataSome applications do not export everything they track to Apple Health. Fitness SS will add heart rate and distance (pacing) data to Apple Health without creating a new workout. Heath will then combine this data with other workouts missing data during the same time period.
SimpleMost solutions for carrying your iPhone during a workout make viewing it awkward unless you stop. Many companion watch apps suffer from watch to phone communication issues. Fitness SS is designed for simplicity and ease of use while exercising on the move.
