Paring with a hear rate monitor strap

[TedLevy]

Hello: I wanted to suggest directly to the Fitbit company that you develop the ability for the Versa to pair with a heart rate monitor strap. No serious athlete tries to track heart rate using wrist technology. It just isn't ready for prime time and may never work for anaerobic exercise.  You can probably buy a ready made strap, similar to what Garmin uses, and sell it for $100.  At that point, you will inherit thousands of athletes who will migrate over to Fitbit simply because your app and the watch are so great and easy to use. Don't wait.

Hello Laura: Actually, I would like to know if Fitbit has any plans to make it possible for users to pair the Versa with a monitor strap.
