Does GymLogger X log on Apple Watch?
Yes, and the Watch app is free. You start the workout on the iPhone, then log each set's weight and reps, run the rest timer, and see live heart rate on the wrist. Sets you log on the watch go through the phone, so the Watch app doesn't run a workout on its own.
