Check out this chart which compares heart rate data measured by the Apple Watch to a Mio Alpha heart rate monitor.



The chart was created by engineer Brad Larson of Sunset Lake Software and co-founder of SonoPlot.



"Extracted the raw Apple Watch HealthKit heartrate samples after a run and compared it to an HR monitor I had on"



"Aside from the Apple Watch capturing heartrate once per 5 s, and the Mio Alpha every 3 s, the readings are nearly identical. Impressed."
