Apple Watch scores as the most accurate pulse meter among wrist wearables in a study

It turned out that the Apple Watch was 90% accurate on average, while the other three lingered in the low 80s. The difference, however, stemmed not from the resting heart rate, but from the one measured during physical activity, where the Apple Watch was much more on point. Obviously, it pays off that Apple developed a proprietary system using two light guides that are compared by software to adjust for movements and vasculature changes.
