Basically, the reason I want to check my data in Linux is because in
some cases it's hard to check the heart rate while exercising.
Specifically, I windsurf and would want to know what my heart rate is
when windsurfing, and this is easy to check in a lull when I'm just
comfortably cruising, but in a squall or a storm when conditions get
challenging it gets a lot harder. Also, in the winter, I will carry the
watch under my drysuit. That's why I want to be able to check my data
afterwards.
