Think I agree here.  Do you still need another wearable to start/end workouts?  Or do you start/end on your phone, and just get heart rate from these?

it’s a weird feature. i feel like a good portion of folks that want to track heart rate may already have a watch, chest strap, or dedicated armband? 

but maybe this’ll get some people to care about it that didn’t previously?

i mean, if you've already got a watch or some other smart device, which i think most runners now would, then i think overkill

but if not, i guess can be useful
