Hi I want to link a blue tooth chest strap heart rate monitor with my watch to log when I am boxing as the strap hurts my wrist is there any chest straps for the Apple Watch? If not if I connect a Bluetooth device to my watch will the exercises I log on the Bluetooth device link with me exercise and move goals on my watch?
Hello CharlieGreen123456789,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. From our understanding, you'd like to pair a Bluetooth heart rate monitor chest strap to your Apple Watch, and be sure your movement is appropriately tracked in the Activity app. We'd like to help.
First, you might find a third-party compatible chest strap from other reliable retailers. If you're able to find one compatible with Apple Watch, it should pair using these steps:
Use AirPods and other Bluetooth accessories with Apple Watch
Once paired, the Heart Rate and Motion sensors give you exercise credit when starting a workout in the Workout app. You can learn more about using the Workout app in these support articles:
Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch
We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
