[Apple Watch](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/partner-apps?hsLang=en#apple-watch) # Apple Watch tracking layouts Before you track an activity using Runkeeper on your Apple Watch, you'll be able to choose between several different layouts that emphasize different activity statistics while tracking. You can find these settings by swiping left from your **Start** screen on the Watch and tapping **Layout** from your **Settings** screen. Here are the different layouts that you can choose from: **Layout 1** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18984986226189-1.png) **Layout 1** places your GPS-tracked **Distance** value at the centre of the screen. This layout allows you to see the total **Time** of the activity, your **Average** or **Current Pace** (depending on your selection on the [settings page](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/apple-watch-tracking?hsLang=en)) and your **Heart Rate**. **Layout 2** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18985247192717-1.png) **Layout 2** contains the same information as the default layout but switches the placement of your **Pace** and **Distance** values so that more emphasis is placed on either your **Current** or **Average Pace.** **Layout 3** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18985537781133-1.png?width=176&height=215&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18985537781133-1.png) Selecting **Layout 3** will present the total **Time** of your activity as your main activity statistic. This layout also places the **Distance** value at the top of the screen, **Heart Rate** at the bottom right and **Average** or **Current Pace** at the bottom left of the watch face. **Layout 4** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18986023803917-1.png)  **Layout 4** is similar to **Layout 1** but swaps your **Heart Rate** information with your **Cadence** (steps per minute) during the activity. Total **Time** is also displayed at the top of the screen and **Pace** is displayed at the bottom left. You can still swipe down from this screen (or left on WatchOS 8) to see your heart rate information on the **Heart Rate Zones** screen. **Layout 5** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18986212996493-1.png?width=176&height=215&name=support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18986212996493-1.png) If you select **Layout 5,** you'll be able to see both your **Current** and **Average** **Pace** in the left and right corners of the watch face respectively. This layout also displays **Distance** as the central activity statistic and **Time** at the top. You can still swipe down from this screen (or left on WatchOS 8) to see your heart rate information on the **Heart Rate Zones** screen.   **Layout 6** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18986602668429-1.png) **Layout 6** was designed for **Indoor** activity tracking. This layout presents **Time** as the main activity statistic and displays your **Cadence** on top and your **Heart Rate** at the bottom of the watch face. The ideal activity types for this layout are **Treadmill Run, Treadmill Walk, and Elliptical**. **Layout 7** ![](https://help.runkeeper.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/support.runkeeper.comhcarticle_attachments18987013906957-1.png) **Layout 7** has also been designed with indoor use in mind and displays your total **Time** in the center of the watch face with **Heart Rate** just below it.   Once you select your preferred tracking layout, it will be outlined by a green square on the layout selection screen. After that, you can hit the back arrow at the top left of your watch face to bring you back to your [activity settings](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/apple-watch-tracking?hsLang=en). Just remember that the layout you have selected will be set for future activities that are the same type until you adjust it.   *\*If you have any questions about the different layouts of the watch, feel free to contact our support team either directly through the **Contact Support** button near the bottom of your **Settings** page in the app or by emailing us directly at support@runkeeper.com.* - [Account](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Help](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/account?hsLang=en#account-help) - [Friends](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/account?hsLang=en#friends) - [iPhone](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/iphone?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Me](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/iphone?hsLang=en#me) - [Start](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/iphone?hsLang=en#start) - [Community](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/iphone?hsLang=en#community) - [Android](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/android?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Me](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/android?hsLang=en#me) - [Start](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/android?hsLang=en#start) - [Community](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/android?hsLang=en#community) - [Website](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/website?hsLang=en) - [Partner Apps](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/partner-apps?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Apple Watch](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/partner-apps?hsLang=en#apple-watch) - [Partner Apps](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/partner-apps?hsLang=en#partner-apps) - [Wearables](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/partner-apps?hsLang=en#wearables) - [The Basics](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/the-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/the-basics?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [FAQ](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/faq?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User FAQ](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/faq?hsLang=en#user-faq) - [Training](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/training?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Routes](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/training?hsLang=en#routes) - [Goals](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/training?hsLang=en#goals) - [Training Plans](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/training?hsLang=en#training-plans) - [Runkeeper Go](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/runkeeper-go?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Runkeeper Go](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/runkeeper-go?hsLang=en#runkeeper-go) - [Editing](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/editing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Activities](https://help.runkeeper.com/en/hc/editing?hsLang=en#activities) [![ASICS Runkeeper](https://help.runkeeper.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Runkeeper_Secondary-Logo_RGB_Indigo-1.png?width=108&height=24&name=Runkeeper_Secondary-Logo_RGB_Indigo-1.png "ASICS Runkeeper")](http://raceroster.com) 179 Lincoln Street, 2nd Floor Boston, MA 02111 [mailto:support@runkeeper.com](mailto:support@runkeeper.com) Copyright © 2025, Race Roster
