Echo or Watch Link?
What is the difference between Echo and Watch Link?
Echo is a software app that broadcasts your Apple Watch® heart rate as a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor using your iPhone. Watch Link is a hardware device that receives heart-rate data from your Apple Watch and broadcasts it using both Bluetooth and ANT+ signals. This means Watch Link can connect to a wider range of equipment, including devices that support ANT+.
