    Ordered my watch this morning! It says delivered April 24-May 9, so I will update once I've had a chance to try it out.
    I have a Garmin with a chest strap, I'll compare the two...

    Thanks for all the input! I called Apple and asked how the Apple Watch gets a HR reading and as you all know, it measures the blood flow in the wrist, but the apple tech said it only takes this reading every 10 minutes. I am not leaning towards the apple watch because I sometimes only have time for a 20 minute HIT workout, so getting two readings doesn't seem like it would be worth the $450 that they are in Canada. Still doing some research based on what you all have said! Thanks!
