The Pebble Time 2 does have an automatic heart rate monitor that checks your heart rate regularly and more frequently during workouts.
Having an automatic heart rate monitor does improve the calculations of how many calories you’re burning during your daily activities.
Tracking your heart rate is a must for any smart watch/fitness tracker nowadays, so it is good to see Pebble include it in the Pebble Time 2.
About David Nerdie
My name is David and I'm a total tech nerd. I always have been and always will be. I've really gotten into smartwatches since they've come out. They show great potential to change our lives almost as much, if not just as much, as smartphones have. I'm also an internet entrepreneur that makes my living via tech.
