Which app for the Apple Watch Series 2 allow for use of the heart rate, gps, and manual splits?

I run about 60 miles a week and I am considering changing my Garmin Forerunner 620 for a Series 2. However, this would be completely useless to me if the watch does not allow me to take manual splits, as many of my workouts are pretty precise. So, is there a possibility for me to take manual splits on the watch, and when looking back at the splits also see the GPS info and heart rate for said splits?

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 3

Hi

To mark a segment (such as a lap) during a running workout using the built-in Workout app, you can double-tap the screen. The stats for that segment are briefly shown on the display. Segments can be reviewed after the workout via the Activity app on the paired iPhone:

You may find that a third-party app better meets your needs.

To learn about the features of third-party apps, I suggest consulting both the developers' app descriptions and their support resources. For example:

Runmeter:

Map My Run:

Strava:

Nike+ Run Club:

If you cannot find the specific information that you are looking for, you may wish to ask the developer directly. This is usually possible via their support resources (you may need to create a free account, in order to be able to log in). They may also be open to receiving feature requests.
