The AirPods Pro 3's heart rate sensor won't replace my Apple Watch - here's why


With its new heart rate monitor, can the AirPods Pro 3 replace an Apple Watch for health-conscious users? Maybe for some, but not for me.

I appreciate the way my heart rate is automatically recorded when I exercise or perform another physical activity, captured through the Workout app. While on the go, I can use it to make and receive phone calls, respond to texts and emails, access my calendar, and view the latest weather forecasts. Yes, I may be adding the AirPods Pro 3 to my shopping cart, but my Apple Watch will still have a vital and enduring place on my wrist.
