Hi iPhone users,

I created a shortcut that lets you manually add your morning HRV and SpO2 values from Coros to Apple Health.

How it works (upon waking up):

1. Open the Coros app and check your morning HRV and SpO2
2. Launch the shortcut
3. Enter both values → done

The data is automatically saved with a timestamp set 4 hours earlier, allowing apps like Bevel to fetch it correctly.

What it syncs:
• HRV (ms)
• Blood oxygen / SpO2 (%)

Notes:

• No need to enter the time manually
• Easily customizable if you want to add other metrics

I originally built this while waiting for proper Coros integration in Bevel, but it may be useful for other Apple Health apps too.

Feedback welcome!

For Coros users (or anyone using a watch not connected to Bevel):

I created a shortcut that lets you manually add data to Apple Health so it syncs with Bevel.

What it syncs:

• Blood oxygen / SpO2 (%)

Notes:

• No need to enter the time manually
• Works with any watch whose data doesn’t sync natively with Apple Health
• Easily customizable if you want to add other metrics

Hopefully useful while waiting for proper Coros integration in Bevel 🙂

I've had an Apple Watch SE 2 for about three years now, and I'm happy with it in almost every way—except for the battery life, which is a real disaster, even after replacing the battery. I'm sick of always having to keep an eye on the battery or carry a power bank on every hike.

So I’m thinking of replacing it with a more sports-oriented watch like the Coros Pace 4, but I’d like some input before I decide. I do triathlons, climbing (bouldering/routes, multi-pitch), trekking, mountaineering, and ski touring... So a lot of mountain sports.

That said, I never track indoor climbing workouts, and I don’t do much ski touring.

So I’m thinking the Pace 4 might work for me—even if there isn’t a dedicated profile for climbing or mountaineering, maybe I can create a custom one or use the hiking mode? Are the profiles customizable enough?

Finally, I’m wondering about the lack of a base map and a magnetic compass—is that a problem in practice? When trying to find your way or follow a route?

I’m leaning toward the Pace 4 over other models for several reasons:

- I have small wrists (16 cm circumference)

- It’s not very expensive

- It’s not too thick

- It has an OLED screen

Thanks 😄
