What belongs here

Devices the Workbench connects to directly over Bluetooth, rather than through a service. For most testers this is empty, and that is completely normal. Your Apple Watch talks to Apple Health. Your Oura ring talks to Oura’s app. Neither appears here.

​
What does appear

The screenshot above was taken on Android, so it mentions Health Connect and Samsung Health. On your iPhone those rows will not appear — see iOS and Android.
Research hardware paired directly with the app — the JCVital band being the main one, used in our own device comparisons. If you were not given one, this screen is not for you.

​
Pairing

Add device, then follow the prompts. The app scans, you pick yours, it connects. Bluetooth pairing is fiddly on every platform. If it fails, the usual remedies apply: make sure the device is charged, close its own app, keep the phone close.

​
Connection state

A paired device shows its state — connected, disconnected, reconnecting — and its battery where it reports one.
A band that connects to only one phone at a time will refuse the Workbench while its own app holds it. Close the other app first.

​
If you have no devices here

Nothing is wrong and nothing is missing. Go to Data Sources instead — that is where wearables that sync through a service are managed.
