That Doctor show I mentioned up thread did a comparison with apps in a recent episode and found the same software on different devices measured quite different heart rates. Basically I wouldn't bother with any phone HR software or anything like fitbit, etc for accurate HR. Use a Polar HRM or Garmin or something similar. I've got a Polar I've not used for years you could borrow and compare with what your phone reads.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting much, I just didn't think it'd be that far out! It's gone back to my friend.
Thanks for the offer, but I gave up caring about heart rate data and that ages ago :p I just check my pulse every so often to see if my RHR is still around <50
