Improving Accuracy
For accurate ride recordings, we only want to capture the forces and motion of the ride itself. Doing so also allows the app to calculate directional forces. Here are some tips to achieve this:
With iPhone
- Keep your phone in the same position and orientation for the entire ride
- Use a secure buttoned or zippered pocket that won’t allow your phone to move, tilt, or rotate during the ride
- Avoid introducing body movement into the recording
- “Entire ride” means from before the ride starts moving until after the ride comes to a complete stop
With Apple Watch
- Keep your watch in the same position and orientation for the entire ride
- Ensure that your watch fits snugly on your wrist
- Avoid introducing body movement into the recording
-
Don’t hold your arms up or move them around during the ride
-
Stabilize your watch by holding onto ride restraints or your body
-
Hold your arm across your chest for a heartline recording
- “Entire ride” means from before the ride starts moving until after the ride comes to a complete stop
