What Heartsensors Does
Explains the sensors that listen to the heart — optical wristbands, chest straps, and ECG wearables — what they measure and what the numbers mean
How the green light on a wristband reads your pulse, and where wrist readings go wrong.
Why electrode straps remain the accuracy benchmark for training heart rate.
What a single-lead ECG on a watch can and cannot see about heart rhythm.
Resting heart rate, training zones, and HRV explained without the mysticism.
Sensor types tested against each other: when the wrist is fine and when it isn't.
A plain buying framework matching sensor type to what you actually want to know.
How Heartsensors Works
Understand what each sensor type actually measures — light, electricity, or both.
Training zones want a strap; daily trends suit a wristband; rhythm checks need ECG.
Single readings mislead; week-over-week trends are where the signal lives.

Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
It shines light into your skin and measures how blood flow changes the reflection — a technique called photoplethysmography. Motion and fit affect its accuracy.
No. A watch records a single lead; a clinical ECG records twelve. The watch can flag irregularities worth checking, but it cannot diagnose.
No — it's education about how devices work. If a sensor shows readings that worry you, or you have symptoms, see a doctor rather than a spec sheet.
