Can Apple Watch Series 4 support external HR monitor, Stryd and bluetooth headphones all at the same time? I've read elsewhere that it supports 2 (HR and headphones) but cannot find an answer for 3 simultaneously. I have not purchased Stryd yet so I'm not able to test it myself.
 
I think it’s should be possible but seems like not many people have tried.
 
I'm curious to know. I think it will work, since this stryd review seems to indicate it:

And those who says two connection use a flawed logic rather than experience. Their logic is one BT and one BLE. But BT standard can supports 7 simultaneously connections and the BLE unlimited connections. So it is up to limits in Apple's hardware/software implementation. Does connecting your external heart rate monitor and BT headphones, force your watch to activate WiFi to communicate with your phone even when it is on BT/BLE range? If not, then it is already more than one simultaneously (BLE) connection.
