Abstract
The growing popularity of wearable devices has enabled individuals to monitor their health and offers potential benefits for remote patient monitoring. However, the reliability of diagnoses provided by these non-approved medical devices remains uncertain. This study addresses the problem of assessing the measurement accuracy of heart rate recordings from wearable devices in both controlled and uncontrolled environments. Previous research has focused on evaluating accuracy in controlled settings, neglecting the impact of external factors on device performance. We conducted a comparative study with ten healthy individuals, recording heart rates during indoor cycling and outdoor activities. Participants wore two out of three tested smartwatches (Apple Watch Ultra, Garmin Enduro 2, Polar Pacer Pro) alongside a Polar H10 chest strap as a reference device. Our findings provide evidence that the Apple Watch Ultra and the Garmin Enduro 2 are particularly resistant to external factors that can occur during regular cycling activities.
