How does an Apple Watch behave in cold weather? - eviltoast

Looking for an alternative to the fitness device I wear now. How does an Apple Watch react to cold weather? Meaning as low as -10° C?

Thanks

    I run outside down to roughly 0F to -5F… only staying inside when frostbite within 30 min is possible (my runs are longer than 30 min). I’ve never had any problems with my watch (previously S3, currently S6). I do use a polar h10 though, both AWs I’ve had have trouble locking onto HR during my runs.

      I noticed the same thing with my S5. Sometimes it tracks heart rate well but sometimes it just doesn’t. Tightening the band doesn’t seem to help. I was looking at getting a polar h9 because of it.
