Has anyone tried to pair an external heart rate monitor to samsung health as a work around for poor heart rate tracking on the Galaxy Watch? I've just ordered a Tickr chest strap as its one of the listed compatible heart rate monitors on the Samsung health app. I'm hoping that when I do a boot camp style workout or a stair climb workout (the Galaxy Watch seriously fails to track both of these for me) that by pairing the Tickr with Samsung health I can track those workouts and get a heart rate graph at the end of my workout on the Samsung health app. If anyone knows if this will work could you please let me know. I'll test it out and post my findings in the next couple of days. I'm gutted that I'm having to try to use work arounds on this as the Galaxy Watch should be able to track heart rate.

Even Apple supports external hrm. Such a shame Samsung!

Unfortunately the lack of support for ant + on Apple and Samsung watches makes them little more than fashion accessories. Not a lot of use for someone that wants to integrate with sensors and gym equipment for data collection and analysis as part of monitoring their training progress.
