Feature Request: Include external HR chest sensors

Dear Whoop Community,

I love the 24/7 holistic insights Whoop is generating, but during high-intensity Box Fitness / Functional Fitness sessions with lots of fast movements with weights, Whoop 5 MG just does not catch up to the heart rate enough. Spikes in heart rate are blunted and wrist movement seems to limit the readings. Even with the bicep band, the heart rate does not compare to a proper electrical heart rate measurement technology like chest straps.

PLEASE include external heart rate broadcasting for these few occasions under high load and tension (like ANT+ or Bluetooth low energy) to make Whoop useful in high intensity, high performance conditions as well.

Many thanks in advance and best regards
Till
