Rob ter Horst tested 100 smartwatches:

But none of them is gold standard for runs on a treadmill up to 15 km/h as our review has shown:

Choose 3 channel ECG devices which are gold standard for HR measurments for this application:

We suggest to use open source devices for it based on OpenBCI or PiEEG with HeartPy.

And the biggest issue we personally have with it:

We do not know of a a post-doctoral researcher such as Rob ter Horst from the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna who is specialized in biological data analysis who tests this and reviews this.
