Thus if you want a bigger screen than your iPhone, you'll need to hook your iPhone onto a projector using this or this or use Screen Sharing to an Apple TV attached to a big screen (or a mac running AirServer or similar), or pick scenario 2 below So to be clear that nice new iPad, Windows or MacOS laptop, or Apple TV you have (which all have native Zwift apps) is not going to support using Apple Watch as a HR monitor in this scenario (but see scenario 2 below).

To complicate things though there are two scenarios you can configure, and both are a little quirky and long winded. You can use your Apple Watch as a heart rate monitor for Zwift.It pulls down my training session for TrainingPeaks each day ready for me to start the painīut this isn't a review of Zwift, rather it's a review of Zwift's support for using Apple Watch.it makes it easy to switch ERG mode on and off so if I want to go for max power during a test for example, I can just tap the button on the screen to turn it off and my smart trainer won't try and control my power by adjusting the resistance. And I can do screenshots of the virtual environment as I cycle through hell (see image) It exports the data nicely to Training Peaks and Strava (among others) and even p resents a map of my virtual ride.It can be fun (but less so when following a structured workout).It makes it a little more interesting to watch the pretty scenery.I currently favour Zwift over other solutions for controlling my smart trainer (Wahoo Kickr) for an indoor training session for a few reasons:
