I just bought a brand new AWU3 from an authorised retailer for less what Apple sells certified refurbished AWU2's - I should get it next week. I couldn't resist the temptation, since I got somewhat bored of Garmin and their BS.
I thought I knew all the limitations of AWU3 (lacklustre training functionalities, lack of HRV, measuring sleep quality based on cosmetics rather than actual health data - looping back to missing HRV, sketchy way of massaging HR data during workouts, etc) but today I've learnt that outside of exercising AWU3 measures HR only once a few minutes??? I remember reading that they do this in battery saver mode (which is still a bit sht, Garmin keeps recording HR every sec even in saver mode), but surely Apple can't be also limiting the polling frequency when the saver is off... Can someone confirm please.
