I use the Samsung Health app, which isn't an option for you obviously
and the FitBit app to do this. I have a FitBit Charge HR, and when I get
on my stationary bike, I can just hit the button on the side of my
Charge HR to let it know I've started an exercise. I hit the button to
let it know I've stopped. It does detect some exercises like walking,
running, riding a bike, but it doesn't automatically recognize when
you're on a stationary bike. If I wanted to, I could go in and edit the
entry that was created when I hit the button on my Charge HR to let it
know that I was on a stationary bike as opposed to some other exercise,
but I typically don't bother to do this. I'm not sure if it integrates
into the Weight Watchers app.
What I like about the Samsung Health app is that I can just hit the
exercise bike option and start, and it'll start counting down my
exercise target duration. I could change this duration or just let it
use the default, which is what I used the last time I was on the
exercise bike. It announces how much time I have left every five
minutes. Since it knows I'm on a stationary bike, it also calculates how
many calories I've burned. Obviously, this isn't exact since it doesn't
know how hard I'm working or what I have the resistance set to, but it's
a nice data point. I can also launch various media apps from the Samsung
Health app if I want to listen to or watch something while I'm peddling.
I mention this since I'm sure there are apps in the App Store that would
also have these features.

Hi,
I am still trying to determine the best way to take advantage of
joining Weight Watchers.
I have an exercise bike but it is not connectable. I am thinking I
could still track my exercise by entering the data into an app. What
apps do any of you use that are accessible for doing this kind of
thing? Are there any that you use that detect your motion and track
your time/etc while riding a stationary bike? Of course I am hoping
for something free but if needed I could pay for one if it isn't too
expensive.
If there are any that will feed the data into Weight Watchers' system
it would be even better. I know that the Weight Watchers app will
feed it in but it would have to be manually entered into the app
first. Just trying to avoid as much of this as I can. Does this mean
I am basically lazy? ;-)) (probably)
Thanks for any help.
