Why the study?
Does the Apple Watch accurately and reliably measure heart rate during and in recovery from exercise compared to a criterion monitor in males?

The Apple Watch provides highly valid heart rate measurements during walking, but its accuracy decreases at higher exercise intensities such as jogging and running.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant caution with Apple Watch heart rate at higher intensities; leaves open broader validity and needs larger confirmatory studies.
Khushhal et al. (2017) studied this question.
