The new Apple Watch can, among other things, measure the wearer’s heart rate. But how accurate are its measurements?
To
find out, an engineer named Brad Larson measured his heart rate
readings on the Apple Watch against his heart rate readings using a Mio
Alpha, an incredibly accurate device. You can see the comparison, which Larson tweeted out, below:
That’s…pretty
accurate! Of course, this is only one trial, and not a comprehensive
test. But those are encouraging tests for those who want to use the
Apple Watch to check their heart rate as they exercise. And it’s even
more encouraging considering how poorly fitness trackers have been shown to measure certain other movements.
