Tools that measure and record heart rate aka pulse.
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 their health band is the best.
Miband is a cheaper option. In my DG (talk) experience newer ones are still not good at measuring HR during exercise.
Apple made news as it's Watch found heart defects.
Next most common HR measurement is the strap. Garmin and Polar make these.
