Apple Watch beats in sync with dedicated heart rate monitors<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">The Apple Watch has proven itself to be nearly as accurate in measuring a person's heart rate as other wrist-mounted heart rate monitors.</p> <p>If you've been wondering how accurate the
Apple Watch's heart rate monitor is, we now have a better look at how exactly it performs against dedicated devices.<!--break--> Engineer Brad Larson measured the Apple Watch agains the Mio Alpha, and found they reported similar results after a run:</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Aside from the Apple Watch capturing heartrate once per 5 s, and the Mio Alpha every 3 s, the readings are nearly identical. Impressed.</p>— Brad Larson (@bradlarson)

secret health and fitness lab has paid off.</p> <p>The Apple Watch heart rate monitor
uses light to measure blood flow under your skin. While these new results point to the Apple Watch taking accurate readings, if you still feel that you need some external help, be sure to follow
our guide to pairing an external heart rate monitor with your watch.</p> <p>Source: Brad Larson
