I’ve had an Apple Watch 7 for about a week and I like it. You can record rides through the watch’s Workout app or Strava app on the watch. Both seem accurate. They sync up so your workout recordings can upload to Strava and vice versa.
I’ve been running the workout app because I can see my heart rate without taking my hands off the bars. The heart rate feature seems to work great. It also has an announcement every five miles that you can use to track your distance without looking at your watch. It also shows elevation gain.
Here are screen shots of each. Strava blurs out all the info unless you raise your wrist, but on the Workout app you can still see all the data with your hand on the bars.
