Apple Watch Series 12 nearly matches chest strap accuracy in early heart-rate test

Technology

  • Apple Watch Series 12 nearly matched a Polar H10 ECG chest strap in an independent early test.
  • It scored 1.0 correlation in cycling, 0.98 in running and 0.97 in weightlifting.
  • Series 12 tracked weightlifting peaks well, an area where wrist-based heart sensors often struggle.
  • The test involved one person over one day, so longer-term testing is still needed to confirm the results.
