DIY Bike Computer With Apple Watch and FITIV Pulse
Tired of bulky bike computers cluttering your handlebars? FITIV Pulse offers an elegant solution by converting your Apple Watch into a capable cycling computer — eliminating the need for additional devices while leveraging technology you already own.
Why Use Your Apple Watch as a Bike Computer?
Why carry separate gear when your wrist already has powerful tracking capabilities? FITIV Pulse streamlines the cycling experience by transforming your smartwatch into a sleek, efficient tracking device.
The combination gives you professional-grade cycling data without the extra cost, installation, or hassle of a dedicated head unit.
What You Can Track
FITIV Pulse enables seamless monitoring of essential cycling metrics as you ride:
- Speed — current and average pace
- Distance — total and segment distance
- Heart rate — live zone display via Apple Watch or connected Bluetooth HR monitor
- Power — if paired with an external Bluetooth power meter
All metrics stream from your Apple Watch to your iPhone simultaneously, delivering a complete real-time dashboard from your wrist.
How to Set It Up
- Download FITIV Pulse from the App Store
- Open the app on your iPhone and Apple Watch
- Start a Cycling workout from the workout selector
- Mount your iPhone on your handlebar for a heads-up display, or glance at your Apple Watch during the ride
For power data, connect a Bluetooth power meter through Apple Watch Bluetooth settings under Health Devices before starting your ride.
