Exercise tracking is a biggie for me.

Integration with Fitness on Apple TV is extremely slick for HIIT and yoga.

Also, the third-party Intervals Pro app has been my go-to running app. I started with Apple+Nike since 2010 and a Fitbit Charge in 2015, but nothing let me customize my workouts as much as the Intervals app.

Do you really need it though, or is it some sort of placebo effect in place? I can bet most professional athletes don't use such devices.

you'd bet wrong. A lot of them use chest strap/HR variability monitors to guide training/track illness + fitness
