Third-party app support was positive where discussed, especially clean syncing with Strava, TrainingPeaks, and health-app workflows.
Pros: operating system experience, materials quality
Cons: contactless payments, onboard music storage
Third-party app support was praised as practical add-on functionality rather than cosmetic extras.
Pros: battery life, durability
Cons: resume later function, ECG functionality
Third-party app support was mixed: SuuntoPlus integrations impressed one reviewer, while another found the two-app limit restrictive.
Pros: operating system experience, brightness
Cons: safety features, health tracking accuracy
Third-party app support was promising but constrained: reviewers liked partner depth yet criticized the one-app-per-workout limitation.
Pros: step counting accuracy, durability
Cons: voice assistant quality, contactless payments
Third-party app support is useful but not fully baked in, with praise for the app store offset by criticism that some tools should be native.
Pros: workout tracking variety, value for money
Cons: blood oxygen tracking, contactless payments
Third-party app support was a recurring limitation, especially the lack of SuuntoPlus apps, TrainingPeaks workout import paths, and broader app-store support.
Pros: comfort, value for money
Cons: contactless payments, Wi-Fi connectivity
