Apple Watch apps does not work 9/10 times

I’m nee user on a free 14 days yet. Apple Watch app gives the worst app experience I ever had. I have Zwift app 1.67.0 (build 130349) and Zwift Companion app on iphone. iPad pro with Zwift app same version. Both apple watch apps on Apple Watch Ultra 2, show ‘unpaired’ most of time. Sometimes in Zwift app HR sensor shows Apple Watch but with ‘no signal’ while app can still show ‘unpaired’ or ‘in game’ meanwhile. I try killing the app(s) and restarting them one by one and eventually sometimes it helps. but it can all go south somewhere during the ride…

Have you tried using the Heartcast app to turn the Apple Watch into a normal HRM?

Zwift’s promised improvements to the Apple Watch app are not going well.

I’ve had the same poor experience with Zwift and Apple Watch. It’s frustrating for a company of this size and technical ability to not have this figured out.

I use an app called Echo which bridges my watch and phone and transmits to Zwift. Works great as long as I keep the app open on my phone - which means I can’t use Companion. I don’t care much for the in-ride social aspects of Zwift so that’s not a deal breaker for me.
