Does anyone else measure their average daily heart rate? And do you have a chronic illness? Mine ranges from 67 to 73 (for the 24h day including activity and sleep). I get curious about if my heart rate is higher than typical in different situations. I have long COVID.
I've found out not all watches give an average daily hr.

A blinded randomized controlled trial using 40 individuals with hypertension (systolic blood pressure ~130 mm Hg) found that 50 microliters of peppermint oil, taken twice a day for 20 days, lowered systolic blood pressure by about 8.5 mm Hg. Diastolic blood pressure and resting heart rate were also significantly decreased.

The Appeal of the Coros Heart Rate Monitor
Reading Time: 2 minutesHaving a watch with an Heart rate (HR) monitor is fantastic until you realise it’s counting 20 BPM too high, and then it’s far less interesting because it’s reporting a moderate workout as heart.
Plenty of heart rate monitors come as chest straps and that’s great if your workout starts and ends somewhere where it’s okay to strap on a heart rate monitor. In winter it’s also about convenience. It is complicated to remove five layers, to put the HR monitor on, and then start an activity.
Often I put the HR monitor on at home, and then drove or caught the train to the start of an activity, and then I started tracking. If you have hours of battery life with the HR monitor then that’s fine.
In summer wearing an HR chest strap is not as complicated. You only have one layer to remove and put back on, but you might not want to do this in the middle of the street with plenty of people around.
That’s when the arm band concept, as with the COros HR monitor comes in. You can walk with it in your pocket, to the start, lift your sleeve, place it, and then lower the street, and within seconds you have your heart rate being tracked.
When you’re cycling with the Garmin Explore 2 or running with the Coros Pace 3, or Garmin Forerunner 570, all of these devices recognise the HR monitor and accept its data.
When you’re cycling with the Explore 2 it is useful to have a quick and convenient HR monitor to wear on one of your arms, instead of going through a few seconds of setting up the chest strap.
In summer I love the convenience of rolling up the t-shirt sleeve, placing the HR monitor, going for a ride, run, or walk, and as soon as I’m done being able to remove it. It is also convenient to have 38 hours of battery and USB charging. 2032 battery HR monitors are great, but the convenience of simplified charging is welcome.
It’s worth watching the pricing trends, because it varies from 73 CHF to 95CHF+ depending on the day.

Watching Phily with my Breakfast, and yes she is right 'Your running watch is lying to you?"
Which is why I use RPE when I run, because it gives me more personal information than a number on a screen.

Whoever thinks this is broken, raise your hand!
Of course it breaks just when it has a completely new strap, and I ordered three spares just in case… This is so me.

My fitness tracker decided to toss in the towel during vacation so I had to get something new. As I had been enjoying the smartwatch functions I decided to upgrade to a proper watch.
As its main use is to track activities I wanted to check in on its heart rate tracking. Strapped on my chest strap (data collected through Strava) and hit a cardio class.
Long story short I have nothing to complain about. Looks really good.

"WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed
Engineers prove their technique is effective even with the lowest-cost WiFi devices
Heart rate is one of the most basic and important indicators of health, providing a snapshot into a person’s physical activity, stress and anxiety, hydration level, and more.
Traditionally, measuring heart rate requires some sort of wearable device, whether that be a smart watch or hospital-grade machinery. But new research from engineers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, shows how the signal from a household WiFi device can be used for this crucial health monitoring with state-of-the-art accuracy—without the need for a wearable.
Their proof of concept work demonstrates that one day, anyone could take advantage of this non-intrusive WiFi-based health monitoring technology in their homes. The team proved their technique works with low-cost WiFi devices, demonstrating its usefulness for low resource settings.
A study demonstrating the technology, which the researchers have coined 'Pulse-Fi,' was published in the proceedings of the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart Systems and the Internet of Things (DCOSS-IoT).
A team of researchers at UC Santa Cruz’s Baskin School of Engineering that included Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Katia Obraczka, Ph.D. student Nayan Bhatia, and high school student and visiting researcher Pranay Kocheta designed a system for accurately measuring heart rate that combines low-cost WiFi devices with a machine learning algorithm.
WiFi devices push out radio frequency waves into physical space around them and toward a receiving device, typically a computer or phone. As the waves pass through objects in space, some of the wave is absorbed into those objects, causing mathematically detectable changes in the wave.
Pulse-Fi uses a WiFi transmitter and receiver, which runs Pulse-Fi’s signal processing and machine learning algorithm. They trained the algorithm to distinguish even the faintest variations in signal caused by a human heart beat by filtering out all other changes to the signal in the environment or caused by activity like movement.
'The signal is very sensitive to the environment, so we have to select the right filters to remove all the unnecessary noise,' Bhatia said.
The team ran experiments with 118 participants and found that after only five seconds of signal processing, they could measure heart rate with clinical-level accuracy. At five seconds of monitoring, they saw only half a beat-per-minute of error, with longer periods of monitoring time increasing the accuracy.
The team found that the Pulse-Fi system worked regardless of the position of the equipment in the room or the person whose heart rate was being measured—no matter if they were sitting, standing, lying down, or walking, the system still performed. For each of the 118 participants, they tested 17 different body positions with accurate results.
These results were found using ultra-low-cost ESP32 chips, which retail between $5 and $10 and Raspberry Pi chips, which cost closer to $30. Results from the Raspberry Pi experiments show even better performance. More expensive WiFi devices like those found in commercial routers would likely further improve the accuracy of their system.
They also found that their system had accurate performance with a person three meters, or nearly 10 feet, away from the hardware. Further testing beyond what is published in the current study shows promising results for longer distances.

Why a Chest Strap Is the Best Way to Track Your Heart Rate During Exercise
