How accurate are the apps or the smart watches that measure your heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They say very accurate, but test this next time you visit your PCP for a checkup. compare your readings and theirs. You can also go to a local pharmacy and have them check it.

My heart rate seems to quite high, using a smart watch which is monitoring hourly. My heart rate today went up to 158, no physical activity?
My smart watch records my heart rate sometimes as low as 52bpm at rest. My average resting heart rate for today was 56bpm. Is this too low? I am not an athlete and this seems low my BP is good usually around 115/75?
Whilst I was cycling I noticed my heart rate spiking quite drastically and would like to know what I can do to double check this, my device indicated 246 bpm, pls advise as there are no doctors open in the smart network ?
So I have a smart watch, and while shoveling snow I kept an eye on my heart rate and when it got to 160 or so I'd wait for it to go down before I continued should I have done that or kept going.. west the best thing to do I'm 31 female?
What does "smart-heart" mean when it refers to food? Does that mean it prevents heart disease?
