Apple Watch Heads Up Display – Navigr8 and ActiveLook

Navigr8 is a highly featured sports app that works on iOS and the Apple Watch. Recently it announced Garmin Varia RADAR support and today we see support for the heads-up display from ActiveLook. OK, it’s not Vision Pro but it’s still a considerably more practical and cool way to get performance metrics beamed into your field of vision as you exercise.

Opinion

I’m not sure of the huge benefit of seeing performance metrics in your field of vision except maybe in a TT.

However, TBT directions are a great thing to have beamed into goggles. While you can take in the value of a single numeric metric in a split second, my opinion is that you often take a second or longer to process ever-changing directional information. If you are travelling over a dangerous route or following complex instructions it must be beneficial to have that info in your field of vision without being distracted from the way ahead by looking down at your bike computer or, worse still, the map on your Watch bouncing around

Similarly, a quick visual note about an approaching car or your direction of travel is also useful.
