– And the authors of this paper:

Researchers from the University of Calgary found that a 3-lead ECG device based on the OpenBCI Cyton board can be used for HRV measurements instead of an industry-standard 3 lead ECG device from Adinstruments and costs only about 4%

These Authors declare that they do not have a conflict of interest in their paper and in their journal.

But the authors of the following paper have a conflict of interest, since the paper was partly funded by Polar:

And what about Rob ter Horst, DC Rainmaker and 5k Runner?

Do they have a conflict of interest? And do they declare it somewhere? We do not know anything about this.

Did Rob buy his 100 smart watches by himself or where they offered by the manufacturers with conditions? As long as he does not declare this, we suppose that these devices where offered to Rob with conditions by the manufacturer. Help us to to put heart rate accuracy validation on a scientific basis which is free from conflict of interests.
