Не работает геолокация

Купил кардио датчик пульс показывает отлично. А gps обманывает на километра 3

No way to know if H10 device is even on

It will not connect via Bluetooth. Replace battery - nothing. Do ALL the thing recommended by documentation - nothing. Very frustrating. Very poor UX is both how the device is supposed to work and the UI of the app.

No HR on Apple Watch

Does not seamlessly synchronize with Apple Watch for HR for Indoor Cycling. I purchased H10 to work with my watch specifically.

Doesn’t sync with Apple Fitness

Exercise sessions never sync with Apple fitness. Even after resetting everything multiple times
