The Apple Watch Sucks

I am officially done with the Apple watch. If I can get to a sports store while I am still in the US, I am going to get a new Polar.

This morning, I ran for 20 minutes and then did a grueling 40 minute mountain walk on the treadmill at an incline of 15!

So, what did my Apple watch track?



I had burned 276 calories - that is the red line.  Now, this could be true, I burn very slowly but I don't think it is.
I had completed 20 minutes of exercise!!!!  This is the green line.  I don't know what Apple thinks exercise is but both my run and my walk had me dripping with sweat so this is not correct.
I had stood up for 2 hours - that is the blue line. Could be right but at that point I had been up for four hours. Not really sure how the watch tracks this.

I want my heart rate and my calorie burn.  The Apple watch is just not accurate even though it is the prettiest screen around.  Oh well...off to look for a new watch.
