The new “Peloton Watch” app is an application that can be downloaded onto any Galaxy Watch running Wear OS 3 and connected to Peloton Bike, Bike+, Tread, Row, and Guide machines so users can see their heart rate live on screen during their home workouts. The app will begin to roll out today, April 4th, to Galaxy Watch5 and Watch4 smartwatches.
At Samsung, we believe technology should help us lead happier and healthier lives. That’s a value we share with Peloton. This partnership embodies our mutual commitment to providing a truly personalized fitness experience for consumers. These new capabilities give users a more detailed picture of their progress, helping them achieve their fitness goals.
Giving its users the ability to pair their smartwatch with their home workout equipment, especially one as popular as the Peloton machines are, is a definite win for Samsung and its connected ecosystem. Peloton is equally benefitted with this partnership as this move aids the company in its quest to position itself as a one that puts its members first. This was best articulated by Peloton’s Senior Vice President of Software Development, Viresh Rustagi, when he stated:
We are constantly innovating to create the best possible experience for our users; no detail is too small…We are thrilled to be able to equip our Member community with even more options to routinely and easily track their Peloton performance as part of their fitness regimen, and we worked in partnership with Samsung to make this possible.
