Oh, come on - the same could have been done with any of the widely available watches with heart-rate monitor functions built in them.

I've been doing the same with a Polar (albeit needing a separate, but more accurate, chest strap) for 15 years, now!

But he didn't. . . and how many times do you take off that chest strap as soon as you finish exercising, like most people do? The only reason this teenager noticed the problem was that two hours after he got finished he was still wearing his Apple Watch. Most people would not be wearing an exercise chest strap after taking their post exercise shower. Right?

By the way, studies comparing wrist heartbeat and chest straps have found no difference in accuracy.
