WaterRower SmartRow Power Output Monitor

The WaterRower SmartRow is a precision rowing power meter accessory designed to upgrade compatible WaterRower rowing machines with accurate performance tracking, Bluetooth workout data, power output measurement, and app-based indoor rowing analysis. Built as a retrofit solution for WaterRower owners whose machines are not fitted with WaterRower’s PowerPulley, SmartRow replaces the standard pulley to provide more consistent rowing data for training, comparison, and progress tracking.

SmartRow measures the force and stroke length of each pull to calculate power output, helping deliver comparable results regardless of water level. Installed in place of the WaterRower’s first pulley, SmartRow connects by Bluetooth to the WATERROWER Connect app for iOS and Android devices, allowing users to view rowing metrics, record sessions, analyze performance, and track workout history on a smartphone or tablet.

Feature Highlights

• Power-Based Rowing Data: SmartRow measures the force and stroke length of every pull to calculate power output. This gives users a more performance-focused way to train, compare workouts, and monitor improvement over time.
• Consistent Results Across Water Levels: Because SmartRow calculates power from force and stroke length instead of relying only on tank behavior, it helps deliver comparable rowing data regardless of water level. This is especially useful for users who want repeatable training metrics across different WaterRower machines.
• Retrofit Pulley Upgrade: SmartRow is designed to replace the standard WaterRower pulley and install in place of the rower’s first pulley. This gives existing WaterRower owners a dedicated power meter upgrade without replacing the entire rowing machine.
• Bluetooth App Connectivity: SmartRow connects wirelessly to the WATERROWER Connect app on compatible iOS and Android devices. Users can view rowing metrics, record session history, analyze performance, and use app-based tools for more structured training.
• Optional Device Viewing Setup: When paired with the WaterRower Phone & Tablet Arm, users can keep SmartRow data clearly visible during each workout. This supports better pacing, more focused interval training, and easier access to performance feedback while rowing.

Who This Is For

The WaterRower SmartRow is ideal for WaterRower users who want more accurate rowing metrics, Bluetooth performance tracking, power-based training, and comparable workout data across sessions. It is a strong fit for home rowers, performance-focused users, personal training studios, hospitality fitness spaces, wellness rooms, and commercial environments using compatible WaterRower Original or Hybrid models.
