Connecting external heart rate monitor

The OHR of the Steel HR is great for daily use and monitoring heart rate while asleep. However, for the majority of workouts, it simply can’t keep up and is thus pretty pointless. It would be great if we could connect either the HealthMate app or the Steel HR to a chest strap.

I am using a chest strap too....and it would be very useful if it is possible to connect my watch or app to my chest strap. Hope to see this in the future.

I'm also using a chest HR monitor when on my WaterRower. Would be slick if it could integrate into the HealthMate app. Would also be helpful to Partner with the WaterRower app for total integration, considering the only Activity option for Rowing is actual rowing, not indoor stationary rowing.

Fully agree. Watch is far too unreliable especially at peak HR. COME ON WITHINGS! please provide polar integration or develop your own strap (i don't care). The main selling point of the HR is "Heart Rate" and it simply doesn't work
