Keep track of your ticker! These are the best heart rate monitors I’ve test

[phillynews215]

Heart rate is a key metric for tracking health and fitness, and thanks to smartwatches and fitness trackers with built-in sensors, monitoring it is easier than ever. As Android Authority’s wearables expert, I’ve tested countless heart rate monitors over the years, from chest straps to wrist-based trackers, evaluating everything from accuracy to comfort. Some offer focused, high-quality heart rate data, while others deliver more versatile, all-in-one tracking. Below are my top recommendations.

Google Pixel Watch 4: The best heart rate monitoring smartwatch

The Google Pixel Watch 3 impressed me with how accurately it tracks heart rate, and I was eager to see if the newest model would hold up. After reviewing the Pixel Watch 4, I can confirm it’s easily one of the most precise wrist-based monitors I’ve tested. It consistently delivers readings that match my dedicated chest straps, which are considered the gold standard for heart rate tracking. That level of accuracy makes the Pixel Watch 4 one of the most reliable heart rate monitors I’ve worn in any form. Plus, the device is backed by Fitbit’s robust health platform and Google’s improved algorithms, for a well-rounded, reliable experience.
