Hi guys.

The TL;DR version.

Is the ohrm better (4.20 sw on 235) ?

F3hr 2.20 sw....not really.
F3hr 3.93 beta sw ...a bit, but not much

Always been a friend of TL;DR versions.
They have their uses. ;)

As long as this helps someone to either pull the trigger, wait for improvements or leave the watch unpurchased.
...I've don my part.

2.95 Beta on F3hr

So an update info on Elevate ohrm on the F3hr...if anyone cares.

I no longer own the 235 so I will do a TL;DR comparison of 2.95 beta vs 2.93 beta

TL;DR
Is Beta 2.95 better (than 2.93) at
RHR - Yes, more stable
Running - Yes, but still not nearly as good as a Mio Link/TomTom Cardio
Biking - No, It's worse

more info in my blog and F3HR forum
