Tools that measure and record heart rate, aka pulse, continuously for at least an exercise session. There are lots[1] and lots[2][3] of such devices and so not all have been evaluated.
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.
Xiaomi Mi Band is a cheaper option. In my DG (talk) experience with the miband6 still not perfect at measuring HR during exercise.
Polar Verity Sense sits on the upper arm.
Finger
Also Pulse oximetry based but the finger is where medical devices measure pulse oximetry.
Oura Ring, mostly during rest and sleep.
Contec Medical System 50F. cms50f. DG (talk) Bulky to wear, terrible during movement but accurate during rest.
Wellue not recommended. DG (talk)
Biostrap 400$ two heart rate sensors and many others.
Chest Strap
Recommended for exercise but not 24 hour monitoring.
Garmin, Polar, Wahoo, QardioCore
I DG (talk) have but do not use the polar H10
Few Lead ECG Patch
Like a real ecg based on electrical pulses. Temporarily glues on to a patch of skin.
uECG Open Source 100$
VivaLNK
Hexoskin 600$ and many other sensors.
Medical Multi Lead Holster
Real tested medical device. Expensive and very bulky.
Contec makes one for about 400$. check ebay or alibaba
