Summary
$99 OTconnect for Apple Watch starts Oct. 23, letting Orangetheory members link their own watches to the chain’s in-studio performance system.
Apple Watch users can view heart rate, calories, heart-rate zones and Splat Points on their wrist during class, then review results in the watch app, OTF app and post-class email.
The launch replaces Orangetheory’s earlier 2019 OTbeat Link approach, a $129 band accessory that was discontinued around 2022 because the new setup removes extra hardware.
watchOS 11.6 and Apple Watch Series 6, SE or Ultra models are required; the one-time fee also includes up to two free months of Apple Music and Apple Fitness+.
