Tools that measure and record heart rate aka pulse.
Bands and Watches
Most bands and watches do this claiming to do it through Pulse Oximetry. I DG (talk) suspect it may be accelerometry - activity based guessing in the bad ones. This is very bad because the difference between what accelerometry would predict and what is actually happening is very important information.
Fitbit s have many studies using them and Quantified Scientist says one of their health bands is the best.
Apple made news as it's Watch found heart defects.
Miband is a cheaper option. In my DG (talk) experience newer ones are still not good at measuring HR during exercise.
Chest Strap
Recommended for exercise but not 24 hour monitoring.
Garmin, Polar, Wahoo
Finger
Oura Ring, mostly during rest and sleep.
Contec Medical System 50F. cms50f. DG (talk) Bulky to wear, terrible during movement but accurate during rest.
