Does Rob ter Horst want to make a fool out of smartwatch sellers & buyers on his YouTube channel?

Last Updated on January 2, 2025 by pg@petergamma.org

Rob ter Horst scientifically validates smartwatch accuracy:

But his tests are controversial, if you read our review:

090. Review of Accuracy Studies of Consumer Grade Heart Rate Monitors: Methods, Testing Protocols, Reference Devices

So why does Rob ter Horst then do his tests? If he would use equipment as reference for instance from Schiller medical Switzerland such as the CS200 ECG treadmill, would he then not demolish the current smartwatch tests? Since smartwatches deliver data which are only of limited use for scientific studies?

But another way to demolish current smartwatch accuracy test results started by DC Rainmaker, 5 k Runner etc. is stick to what smartwatch seller want from YouTubers and exploit it to the peak, by a scientist such as Rob ter Horst. But how long will Rob ter Horst s house of card survive until it is demolished to the ground? And is eventually this Rob ter Horsts motivation to do these tests, to make them disappear?
