Also I really do like the 520 plus
I agree it is nice to support the LBS when you can. I do all of my own work so the only time I usually visit a LBS is when I am looking at new bikes or parts. I looked at the 520 plus also. I think it is more Apple not allowing the watch to broadcast the HR to other devices. Be nice if they would allow it. Maybe with the new watch or even WatchOS 5 it might but who knows. I am going to be ordering a wrist band for HRM before long.
