Track heart rate trends

A heart rate watch is made for people who want a simple way to follow daily heart rate trends from the wrist. It can help you check your heart rate during workouts, rest, sleep, and normal daily activity, while keeping your health data easy to view in one place.

More than pulse tracking

The best models in this collection do more than track pulse. Depending on the watch, you can also follow SpO2, HRV, sleep, activity, ECG/EKG, blood pressure, blood glucose reference, body temperature, and other wellness data.

Made for daily activity

This collection is a good fit for people who exercise, seniors who want simple daily health tracking, and users who want a smart watch with heart rate monitoring instead of a basic step counter. If you are buying for a parent or family member, choose a model with a clear display, simple controls, and the core health features they will actually use.
