Can I use Fitness on my iPad without an Apple Watch? I have subscribed to the service, and am planning to buy a watch. But, I’d like to see how the app works before I purchase.
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell
You can likely watch a video and work out with no biofeedback. You will have to give it a try to see if it will let you do so.
This is Apple's answer to the general question;
Do I need an Apple Watch?
Yes. Apple Watch personalizes your Apple Fitness+ experience by integrating your personal metrics, like your heart rate and the calories you burn, into every workout. It brings them to life on the screen to keep you informed and motivated. To use Apple Fitness+ on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, an Apple Watch Series 3 or later is required.
