I spotted this ad for the Apple Watch

No prizes for spotting the vital bit of missing kit on the Concept2

Apple clearly have no idea

Wait, what? The Apple Watch talks to the Concept 2? I don't think so.

LOL, I see no displays on the rowers.

Still, I want that trophy.

The monitor arms are folded backwards by the looks of it.

Surely there is capability for a PM5 to talk to an iphone/apple watch and get HR data etc?

Wouldn't that be intentional? Otherwise, why would she have to look at her watch? Come to think of it, it's just a terrible ad. Instead of using the monitor that is built for you to see while you row, use a watch that you have to stop and look at your hand during the piece. Makes perfect sense.....

Yeah, it certainly makes no sense to try to look at your watch while rowing on an erg. Somebody should tell her that she's not going to get that trophy by stopping and looking at her watch.

Form looks pretty good though, no?
