NomadTracks for running & jogging
Run free — the phone can stay home
From the daily jog around the park to long mountain trail runs: the NomadTracks watch app records GPS, heart rate and elevation entirely on its own. Start the run from your wrist, see the fields you care about, and find the full track with pace charts on your phone afterwards — saved to Apple Health if you want.
Standalone Watch recording
GPS + heart rate + elevation with no iPhone along. Customizable data fields show exactly what you want mid-run.
Pace charts after, not nagging during
No coaching pings — just clean pace, speed and elevation charts waiting in your library when the run is done.
Apple Health integration
Every recording can be saved as a workout, with heart-rate series included.

Real recordings, real places
Tap a photo or map to open the full track story — route, elevation profile and GPX download included.
From the daily loop to the trail ultra
The same recorder handles the 5 km park loop before work and the all-day mountain trail run — GPS, heart rate and elevation, straight from the wrist, saved to Apple Health if you want it. No coaching interruptions mid-run; just clean pace, speed and elevation charts waiting in your library when you're done, and a map of exactly where you went.
City streets or backcountry trail
Running in a new city? Record the route and every wrong-but-wonderful turn becomes a keeper. Running somewhere with no signal? It all works offline, and your own trail map can ride along as a live overlay. Two of the routes below are flat lakefront city runs in Chicago; another is a lung-busting climb straight up Table Mountain — same app, same wrist-only workflow.
