What is the difference between Rob ter Horst`s smartwatch accuracy tests & Vedia Switzerland advertising?

Last Updated on January 1, 2025 by pg@petergamma.org

Vedia is a cult seller located near Geneva in Switzerland. In 2021 VEDIA had his 50 anniversary and published a self-ironic promo video:

50 ans de VEDIA en 2021 – Masseur de joue

VEDIA products are cheap. But at least the VEDIA anniverary promo video is Swiss quality. But what about Rob ter Horst? When Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org saw Rob ter Horsts mega accuracy plots:

He asked himself:

„is this not a joke of a data scientist?“

But Rob continued to test smartwatch accuracy. So Peter wrote a review on his site about this topic which took him about 3 month. He did this review part-time in his spare time at home:

The CeMM Vienna anniversary – ​​10 years of world-class research:

But nothing changed after Peters review. Wasn t it Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org who requested for scientific data about smartwatch accuracy? And the answer was Rob ter Horst? This can t be true. Should Rob ter Horst not have at least the level of a Swiss quality reviewer? In the following video we can see a promo video of the Research Center of Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences” where Rob ter Horst currently works:

Director of the „Research Center of Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences” (CeMM) in Vienna is Giulio Superti-Furga:

Giulio Superti-Furga worked with Charles Weissmann, the most famous Molecular Biologist of Switzerland:

Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

had plans to work with Charles Weissmann in Zurich, too.

And Peter had oral exams with Charles Weissmann in Zürich, and he received a “summa cum laude” from him. And does this not qualify Peter to ask all of this questions here about Rob ter Horst?

Should Rob ter Horst not have at least the level of a Swiss quality reviewer, the level of Charles Weissmann, Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org and VEDIA Switzerland? Has Rob ter Horst not indeed a Swiss quality level in making a fool out of his viewers on YouTube? Similar to what VEDIA Switzerland did in the above video? But the problem with Rob ter Horst is that not everyone has the required knowledge to know about that Rob ter Horsts data on YouTube are controversial. Therefore before you buy an Apple watch for 800 USD, read the site www.petergamma.org first, category “PPG”:

This category has 386 posts up to the present day.

If we whatch Rob ter Horst s smartwatch accuracy tests, what is your opinion about those? Do they not remind us to some Vedia Switzerland advertising? Where for instance a dubious medical doctor with dubious knowledge want to sell us some dubious products for a cheap price?
