Chest strap heart rate monitor

Why is it not possible to connect a chest strap heart rate monitor to the Samsung Galaxy Ultra watch over Bluetooth?

This feels like a basic feature, not some niche request. Chest straps are far more accurate than wrist sensors, especially during interval training, lifting, or anything with movement. The watch clearly has Bluetooth, so what’s the limitation here?

It’s frustrating to spend this much on a “premium” watch and then find out it can’t pair with one of the most common fitness accessories. Plenty of athletes rely on external heart rate monitors for accurate data, and right now this watch just doesn’t support that use case.

Are there any plans to support external Bluetooth heart rate monitors in a future update? If not, why was that capability left out in the first place?

Right now it feels like a big miss for a device that’s supposed to be built for performance tracking.

I recently bought a Vostok off eBay, but unfortunately it is not working properly. When the crown is fully screwed down, I can unscrew it and wind the watch with no issue. However, after pulling the crown out to set the time, when I push it back in and screw it down, it does not seem to return to the winding position. Instead, as I screw the crown in, it changes the time, almost like the stem is not engaging properly or is too short.

Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?
