Intervals
Interval workouts alternate between periods of work and rest. During rest periods, you can either stop completely or continue moving at an easy pace.
Choose from constant intervals (fixed work/rest) or custom intervals. Set number of rounds, work time/distance/calories, and rest periods. The monitor tracks each interval separately with rest countdowns and displays interval number on screen.
Interval workouts can be configured in several ways:
- Time Based: Work for a set amount of time, followed by a programmed rest period before the next interval begins.
- Distance Based: Work for a set distance, followed by a programmed rest period before the next interval begins.
- Calorie Based: Work until a target number of calories is reached, followed by a programmed rest period before the next interval begins.
- Custom: Combine different time, distance and/or calorie intervals with rest periods between each segment.
Rest Time: Fixed or Undefined
When setting up an interval workout, rest time can be programmed as either a fixed duration or undefined.
Undefined rest allows the recovery period to remain open-ended and is useful for workouts that combine rowing or skiing with off-machine movements such as running, weightlifting, or other functional training exercises.
Undefined rest has a max duration of 10 minutes.
Setting Up a Workout with Undefined Rest
This allows undetermined rest time for intervals (e.g., for CrossFit-style workouts with off-machine activities).

Full Data
The Full Data display provides the most detailed view of your workout performance.
This display shows the following metrics:
- Elapsed or remaining time
- Afstand
- Strokes per minute (SPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM on Echo Bike M2)
- Current pace displayed as pace per 500M or 1000M (Echo Bike), calories, or watts

○ Distance workouts: Estimated time required to complete the workout. (For Just Row, Ski, or Ride workouts, the projected finish defaults to 30 minutes)
○ Interval workouts: Estimated finish distance or time for the current interval
Force Curve
The Force Curve is a line graph of your power application during the stroke. A smooth curve shape indicates a smoother and consistent application of force. In general, a larger area under the curve reflects a stronger stroke. Aim for a broad, consistent force curve without peaks or irregular fluctuations, as this indicates a smooth and continuous drive.
When viewing this display, the M2 shows workout data on the top half of the screen and the force curve for each stroke on the bottom half.
- Elapsed or remaining time
- Afstand
- Strokes per minute (SPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM on Echo Bike M2)
- Current pace displayed as pace per 500M or 1000M (Echo Bike), calories, or watts
- Force Curve
Pacer
The Pacer display allows you to row/ski/ride against a target pace. When viewing this display, the M2 shows the below workout data on the top half of the screen and a visual pace comparison on the bottom half.
- Elapsed or remaining time
- Afstand
- Strokes per minute (SPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM on Echo Bike M2)
- Current pace displayed as pace per 500M or 1000M (Echo Bike), calories, or watts
- Pacer
You can define a target pace when setting up a new workout.
If you don’t set a target pace, the pacer matches your current workout pace.
Heart Rate Graph
The Heart Rate Graph displays a live visual bar graph of your heart rate, graphing a new bar every 10 seconds throughout the workout. The higher the bar, the higher your heart rate.
When viewing this display, the M2 shows the below workout data on the top half of the screen and the heart rate graph on the bottom half.
- Elapsed or remaining time
- Afstand
- Strokes per minute (SPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM on Echo Bike M2)

Summary Display
The Summary display shows the core metrics only for a simplified, large font view.
This display shows the following metrics:
- Elapsed or remaining time
- Afstand
- Strokes per minute (SPM) or revolutions per minute (RPM on Echo Bike M2)
- Current pace displayed as pace per 500M or 1000M (Echo Bike), calories, or watts
The M2 displays results two ways: overall workout totals and per-split/interval breakdowns. Splits show time, distance, pace, watts, or calories for each segment. In interval workouts, it also shows interval number and rest periods. Splits are automatically saved to History.
By default, the monitor breaks most workouts into fifths; so a split is 1/5 of a workout. A 5000M row uses 1000M splits.
When creating a new workout the splits are customizable.
Splits apply to single distance or single time workouts. Interval workouts are not formatted to utilize splits in the same way.
Splits and Early Termination
If you end a workout early, the M2 stores it as a Just Row / Just Ride / Just Ski workout. These workouts are stored using 5-minute splits, with a maximum of seven splits saved to conserve memory space. Once the workout exceeds 35 minutes and requires more than seven splits, the monitor automatically switches to 10-minute splits. If the workout exceeds 70 minutes, the monitor switches to 20-minute splits. This process continues as needed to keep the total number of stored splits at seven.
The M2 displays output in three different units. Press Units to cycle between them
- Pace / 500M (Echo Bike is /1000M) - Displays how long it takes to row or ski 500 meters, or bike 1000 meters. Lower values indicate a faster pace. The monitor shows both your current pace for each stroke and your average pace for the workout
- Watts - Displays your power output in watts. Higher values indicate greater power production. The monitor shows watts for each stroke along with your average watt output for the workout
- Calories Displays the estimated number of calories burned. Higher values indicate more calories burned. During the workout, the monitor shows total calories burned and converts this data into a Calories-per-hour value. Calorie calculations are based on a formula using a 175LB individual.
Stroke rate is the number of strokes per minute (SPM) or cadence (RPM on the Echo Bike) This metric appears on all displays as both your current rate and average for the workout.
Common Stroke Rates
Rowing: 24-30 SPM
Skiing: 30-40 SPM
Cycling: 60-100 RPM
- Press Home during a workout to stop the workout
