Steel HR vs ScanWatch is it worth waiting?

I've just got a Steel HR on preorder, and only recently noticed that there is a Scan Watch "coming soon". But there's no more information. So am unsure if its worth cancelling the Steel HR and holding on for a Scan Watch, and what the key differences will be. Specifically:

What would be the ScanWatch expected price?

What is its weight and thickness compared to the Steel HR?

What type of Sensors does it use for the heart rate measurement?

What type of Sensors does it use for its ECG measurement?

I suspect others planning to purchase may have similar question, so would be good to have some information on this.

Getting the ScanWatch would be a good choice! You have probably received the Steel HR by now, but ou can still request for a refund though, if it is still within 30 days. I can't wait to see the ScanWatch on my wrist. They have recently announced that the watch will be available in Europe in September for €279 (38mm) and €299 (42mm). I've read the articles on their website and you may find the answers for your questions on the links below:

Hi, I've already returned the Steel HR, and have been planning on getting a ScanWatch. But have posted a query on the ScanWatch forum about the type of sensor and if it can have any adverse affect.
