Apple Watch

Your cable machine workout on your wrist

The iPhone stays on the bench. The watch tells you what to do: which exercise, which plate, how many reps and how long to rest. One thing per screen, readable at arm’s length.

Tap the weight line and the Crown changes the weight.Rest: A big countdown and the next exercise with weight and plate. When the rest is over, the watch taps your wrist, even with your arm down.Set up: A new exercise comes next: the watch says what to change, for example both pulleys at the bottom and single handles.One tap: Short questions with big buttons and no scrolling, like “How was that set?” after a test set.Done: Minutes and tonnes moved at a glance. Records, badges and stats wait on the iPhone.

FAQ

Questions about the watch

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. The whole workout runs on the iPhone. The Watch app is a handy remote and part of DCFT Pro.

What can I do on the Apple Watch?

Tick off a set with one tap, change reps or weight with the Digital Crown, see the plate to pin, and follow the rest countdown, which ends with a tap on your wrist. During the rest the next exercise is already shown, with pulley and handle when you need to set up. Heart rate and active energy are recorded and can be saved to Apple Health.

Does the Watch app work without the iPhone?

No. The Watch app works together with the iPhone app, where plan, weights and history live, so keep your iPhone nearby. If the connection drops for a moment, sets you tick off stay on the watch and are sent on as soon as the iPhone is back in reach.

Will I hear when the rest is over if my phone is locked?

Yes. DCFT sends a time-sensitive notification when the rest ends. With Pro the countdown, the next set and the weight also show on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

Does DCFT work with Apple Health?

Yes, with Pro and only if you switch it on, separately for each type: DCFT can save workouts, body weight and waist circumference, and read body weight and steps. DCFT works fully without Health too.

What happens if the app closes during a workout?

DCFT saves the workout after every change. When you open the app again, it offers to resume where you stopped.
