GLOVR

Boxers and combat athletes have no health-tracking tools built for their sport — generic fitness apps miss punch impact, combo accuracy, and defense. GLOVR is the first boxing-specific platform, pairing a smartwatch with a desktop analytics dashboard.

GLOVR desktop analytics dashboard
The desktop command center — every stream of smartwatch data in one view: sparring time, mileage, heart rate, punches thrown, and recovery.

The first boxing-specific health platform — a smartwatch built for glanceable, in-training data paired with a desktop dashboard that turns a session into analyzable insight.

Outcome
A complete cross-platform design system — 7 specialized watch screens and a unified dashboard — built around metrics that actually describe a fighter: punch power, defense, and recovery.
Problem

Train hard, measure nothing

Boxers and combat athletes train hard and measure almost nothing. Generic fitness apps count steps and calories — they miss the metrics that actually describe a fighter: punch impact force, combo accuracy, defense rating. There was no boxing-specific health tool. GLOVR is that tool.

892 PSIPeak punch force, measured per punch type — the kind of boxing-specific metric no generic fitness app captures, and the reason GLOVR exists.
The watch

Seven screens, read between rounds

The watch is the heart of GLOVR. Each face is designed for glanceable data during active training — a fighter reads it between rounds, gloves on, heart rate at 160. Boxing-specific metrics, each on its own screen, each in a colour coded to its category.

GLOVR watch home dashboard
Home — the hub: training, heart rate, combos, impact, recovery.
GLOVR watch impact force — 892 PSI
Impact Force — peak PSI, broken down by jab, cross, and hook.
GLOVR watch defense tracker — 87%
Defense — a rating built from slips, blocks, and parries.
GLOVR watch combo tracker
Combo Tracker — streaks and sequence accuracy at 4.2 punches/sec.
GLOVR watch heart rate — 142 BPM
Heart Rate — live BPM and peak-zone tracking through a session.
GLOVR watch recovery zone
Recovery — deep-sleep hours and HRV, scored against training load.
Design system

Color and type with a job to do

Every color earns its place before it earns a screen — from reducing eye strain in a dark gym to making the active metric impossible to miss. Type splits the same way: Oswald Bold for metrics and the logo, Poppins for quiet UI labels.

GLOVR functional color palette — navy, gold, red, purple, white
Navy for low-strain backgrounds, gold for the metric that matters now, red for heart-rate urgency, purple reserved entirely for defense.

GLOVR is a full design system spanning wearable and desktop, purpose-built for an underserved niche in health tech. Every decision — every color, every metric, every screen — serves the athlete.

Reflection

What I'd carry forward

Designing for a niche forced precision. There was no generic fitness pattern to fall back on — every metric had to be researched and justified, which made the product sharper than a broad app would have been.

If I took GLOVR further, I'd validate the watch screens with real boxers mid-session. Glanceability is a claim until someone reads the screen with gloves on and a heart rate of 160 — that test would refine the hierarchy in ways the studio can't.
