AI is great when it has good data. Otherwise it's garbage in, garbage out. The heart rate sensor on my watch 6 is great for all day heart rate and sleeping heart rate, but it's not very accurate durring an exercise activity (as is the case with every smart watch) 

I would love to take advantage of everything the watch has to offer during an activity, but have it leverage a Bluetooth heart rate strap for heart rate data.

Samsung health app on my phone supports heart rate straps, but if both a strap and the watch are connected, then it ignores the strap.

I want to start an activity directly on my watch, but have it use the heart rate strap either by connecting the strap directly to the watch, or the phone connects to the strap and sends that information to the watch.

There are phone apps that support heart rate straps and syncing with Samsung health, but that all takes place in my phone and the watch does nothing. I have to look at my phone to see my heart rate or make changes. The watch is not involved.

ā€ƒto further illustrate this heart rate accuracy issue, I took this photo. At this point I was about 20 minutes into a 60 minute ride. My watch 6 (shaved hair off my wrist, and using snug nylon elastic sweat absorbant watch band) says my "now" heart rate is 86. While my peloton that's connected to a heart rate strap (FrontierX continuous ECG) is reporting 144.
