Glovework: Boxing Round Timer

Glovework is a boxing round timer and punch counter for Apple Watch, made for shadow boxing, mitt rounds and heavy bag work. A brass bell opens each round and the watch counts the punches thrown with the hand wearing it.

Set your rounds, put the watch on your lead or rear hand and start. A bell opens each round, a clapper marks the last 10 seconds, and the rest counts down on your wrist. While you work, the watch counts the punches thrown with that hand, times them and estimates your peak wrist speed.

Every number carries a stamp. Estimated means it comes from the watch's motion sensors; How we measure shows the expected error and our bench results as they land. Measured is used only for numbers that have passed our video test, and for heart rate from Apple Watch. Glovework never claims punch force.

Free, and complete for training
