All of these apps and devices work in concert to keep tabs on my every heartbeat and footstep, but there is a notable exception. I am usually against linking my Apple Watch to apps that track my workouts, as this has caused headaches in the past by double-importing data into my food-tracking app and daily Apple Health summary—this defeats the purpose of the monitoring altogether by significantly inflating my burned calories and total active minutes. Today, reluctantly, I linked my Apple Watch to my Peloton Bike, expecting it to cause the same problems—but it only impressed me. Now, I'm a believer in linking these two devices. I'll tell you why, plus how to do it.
How to link your Apple Watch and Peloton device
On your Peloton app, select your Profile (on the right of the menu at the bottom of the home screen), then find the hamburger menu on the top right of your profile screen. Selecting that will bring you to a page called More and right there, under Add-Ons, you'll find Apple Watch.

I scrolled to the bottom of the Watch app, selected Peloton from the list under Installed on Apple Watch, and toggled on Show App on Apple Watch.
There's already plenty of information available on the screen, like cadence, resistance, and output, but I didn't find this distracting. It was actually pretty helpful to get a sense of what "zone" I was in. I only selected a 10-minute workout, so I didn't expect to be wiped out, but it was nice to gauge how much I was pushing myself so I could work to get the most out of those 10 minutes. When the class was over, I opened the Lanebreak app on the bike. Lanebreak is a virtual game offered by Peloton that I absolutely love and play every day, so I was interested in seeing if the heart rate monitor would pop up on the screen during a level, too. It did!
I opened my nutrition-tracking app to make sure the burned calories hadn't been double-entered. They hadn't! The Peloton App succeeds where other apps have failed: It doesn't make tracking your movement across various apps and devices a convoluted mess.
What is the benefit of linking these devices?
Like I said, the Peloton app tracked the same things my Apple Watch would track on its own using the Workout function: My heart rate, my burned calories, and the duration of my workout. So, you might wonder, what's the point of linking the bike (or Peloton Tread or Row) to the watch at all?
Second, linking the Apple Watch and Peloton device enables you to see something called you "strive score." This is a personal metric that helps you understand and visualize how hard you worked during a class or ride, and it's based on a combination of your heart rate and how long you spent in each of Peloton's seven "power zones." (Lower zones correspond with a lower heart rate and higher zones correspond with a higher one.)
