Rob ter Horts argues on his Youtube channel, that the choice of the Polar H10 chest strap as a reference device for consumcer grade heart rate monitors is a good choice. After several years of literature research in this field, we regret Rob ter Horts PhD.s choice.
It is highly desirable that Rob ter Horst does more literature research for his Youtube channel «The Quantified Scientist»:

to raise his youtube channel to the level of his academic research.
Rob ter Horst is an excellent Postdoc. The Meditation Research Insitute Switzerland misses such an excellent Postdoc, which validates consumer grade sports sensors at the level of Rob ter Horsts academic research.
If a PhD invests several years in validation of consumer grade heart rate monitor devices, should he not also invest to use the most accurate and high quality research grade ECG reference device he can find for this purpose?
Rob ter Horst is qualified to use an ECG device with 100 % accuracy as reference device. But instead of that, he uses a Polar H10 chest strap with only 99.6 % accuracy for this purpose. Is it not a waste of time for a PhD not to choose the most accurate reference ECG device he can find with 100 % accuracy? By choosing the most accurate ECG reference device, he would also be accepted by his academic friends, and not only by his Youtube followers.
