AKURA puts your coach's plan on your wrist. Open the app and see today's session as a few big, clear pages: the warm-up, the main set (for example 5 x 5 min with 60 s recovery, or 2 x 1000 m at 6:29 per km), the cool-down and your pace and heart-rate targets. Press START and the watch walks you through every step: it buzzes and beeps at each change, counts down the last three seconds, shows the time left in huge digits, and draws your heart rate (or pace) as a diamond on a coloured arc so you can see at a glance whether you are inside your target. Every kilometre becomes a real lap, with a banner showing the lap time, pace and average heart rate. If your heart rate runs too high or too low, or you are too fast or too slow for the step, you get a clear banner and a distinct tone, never spammy. When you finish, one tap saves the run and sends it to your AKURA account, so your calendar, training load and records update on their own. Big labelled numbers, high contrast and large text are on by default, so it stays readable when you are tired, sweaty or not twenty any more. Requires an AKURA account. Pair the watch from the AKURA phone app: open the You tab, tap Watch & apps, then Pair with code.

What's new in 1.2.3 - New AKURA logo: the app icon on the watch, the store cover and the hero image now use the new AKURA mark. - Guided runs: the finish now follows your step plan exactly, so the Workout done and Target reached screens always agree on the distance. Also new since 1.1.1 (from 1.2.2) - Completely redesigned screens: bigger text, a label on every number, high contrast, nothing cut off or overlapping on any watch. - Today's session now shows as clear pages built from your coach's structured plan: summary, warm-up, main set (reps, distance or time, pace, recovery), cool-down, targets and a big START button. - A heart-rate or pace arc with a moving diamond shows where you are against your target. Press UP to switch between heart rate and pace when the day has both. - Automatic laps every kilometre (choose off, 0.5, 1, 2 or 5 km), so real laps and splits appear in your activity history and in other training apps. A 3-second banner shows the lap time, pace and average heart rate. - Alerts with clear banners and their own tones: heart rate too high or too low, back in range, too fast, too slow, half way, target distance reached, and a different sound for each step change. - A new paused screen with three big round buttons (Resume, Save, Discard) and a Saved screen that shows your lap count and distance. - Settings: auto-lap distance, heart-rate alerts, target alerts, sound, vibration and large text.
