I have a Samsung watch 6. The main reason I bought it is for running so I can log strava with HR monitoring and listen to podcasts. Well after a few runs logged, the HR monitor on the watch is really quite terrible. Yes I know all about the watch positioning on the wrist. It has massive gaps in HR logging and just blinks while I’m in cool down. What I’d really like to do is hook the watch up with a chest strap HR monitor, but I can’t figure out how to do that.

So I’m hoping for 2 pieces of advice: -any hot tips for using the HR monitoring. -how to hook up a Bluetooth chest strap HR monitor

Thanks!

    I had a garmin strap laying around from when I was using a garmin, but the watch didn’t support ANT+ devices, so that didn’t work. I didn’t have a bluetooth one to test
