I have a ticwatch S and that's what they use so you can download all apps from the Google Play store. Well, we just launched in iOS in January then had a big 2.0 launch a few weeks ago. Hopefully if things go well we can begin moving out to other markets. That being said, if you're currently an Android user and just want a minimal hardware setup to use HockeyTracker, an iPhone 6 can be had pretty cheap via Ebay/Apple refurb and you could pair it with an Apple Watch Series 1 which were going recently at Walmart (US) for $150.

Kevin 5 Report post Posted November 24, 2018 I think you need a chest strap to get an accurate heart rate reading during activity. The movement of the wrist can affect the reading. I track my heart rate with a Polar H10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chest strap will be the best but the Apple Watch does a very good job and no the wrist movements don’t affect it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marka 526 Report post Posted November 25, 2018 Howdy, Are there inexpensive chest strap HR monitors that work well for sports like hockey? I'd be curious about my HR stuff, but only like $50 worth or so. 🙂 Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strosedefence34 175 Report post Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Do the people who wear their Apple Watches to play protect it with anything? Do you guys notice it while playing? I just got one the other day and I have never been a watch guy so I am afraid of it being bothersome while wearing. I am also a lefty so I am thinking about switching it to my right wrist when playing. Edited December 20, 2019 by strosedefence34 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the watch is safely under the thickest cuff of the glove, we rarely here of any issues with damage but some users do like to use protective wrist guards to cover the watch just in case. You can find them on Hockey Monkey etc. Gary 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstartxtodayx 343 Report post Posted December 24, 2019 I was worried at first as well butafter my first skate realized it's fine. I usually notch it one hole tighter for better readings and to keep it in place more, then it sits nicely under the cuff of my glove away from danger. I guess this may vary depending on what gloves/size gloves you wear so just test it out before hand... I wear 14" HG12's with the floating cuff so they pretty much keep the watch protected at all tims which is nice also I'm a lefty too and no issues). btw, I love the app. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
