TheSamsung Galaxy Watch 6and 6 Classic are hands-downour favorite Wear OS watches, and they’re capable fitness trackers. If you have a recent Galaxy Watch and the Peloton app, your wearable can do more during your workout than log a stationary bike session. Here’s how to pair your Galaxy Watch with your Peloton bike, treadmill, rower, or mobile app to get the most out of both.
What does pairing my Galaxy Watch with my Peloton do?
Connecting your Samsung Galaxy Watch to Peloton lets you use your wearable as a heart rate monitor during your Peloton classes. The Peloton Wear OS app uses your watch to track your heart rate as you exercise. That information displays on the device streaming your class, whether it’s your Peloton gear or your phone. The watch displays both your heart rate and your color-coded heart rate zone in real time, giving you an easy way to see how hard your heart is working at a glance.

Most watches running Wear OS 3 are compatible with the Peloton wearable app. All Android-based Samsung Galaxy Watch devices work with Peloton. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series, Galaxy Watch 5 series, and Galaxy Watch 6 series are supported. Here’s how to connect your watch to your Peloton equipment.
While this guide is intended for use with Samsung Galaxy Watch devices, most Wear OS watches running Wear OS 3 or newer are compatible with Peloton, including theGoogle Pixel Watchand theMobvoi TicWatch Pro 5. The process for connecting is the same across Wear OS smartwatches from different manufacturers.
And that’s it. While your watch tracks your workout, you’ll see your heart rate metrics on your watch and on-screen on the device streaming your workout. Tracking on your watch ends when your workout is stopped or completed, and you’ll see a Strive Score for each workout tracked with your Wear OS watch.
