I'm considering an Apple Watch (actually, DH is considering getting me one for Christmas). I'm hoping to use it primarily for fitness/activity & heart rate tracking while running and taking various workout classes, and also as a replacement for my all-day fitness tracking bracelet. I've read that the Apple Watch doesn't have built in GPS like many running watches, but I'm fine with that as I always run with my phone for safety and use running apps to track my mileage & time. I also need something that I can wear daily in a professional setting, and I haven't been able to find any running watches that fit that bill and also have activity tracking options.
The Apple Watch would replace the combo of my Mio HR watch and a Jawbone fitness/sleep tracking bracelet. I also use the Jawbone app to track my daily calories as compared to my activities to keep my weight loss goals on target. I try to track my HR each time I workout, but the Mio HR watch won't store info if my phone isn't within bluetooth distance. Since I can't take my cell phone into all of my workout classes, I generally loose this info, which is frustrating.
I'm looking for tips, pros/cons of the Apple Watch for its fitness, activity tracking, and running functions. Any advice or insights would be great!
