Incompatible devices
Some devices can measure your heart rate (average number of heartbeats per minute), but not your heart rate variability (time lapsed between heartbeats). For this reason, they can’t be used for measurements in Welltory. They include:
Polar OH1
MyZone MZ-3
Scosche RHYTHM+
Wahoo TICKR Fit
Unfortunately, you can’t use most fitness trackers and smartwatches for Welltory measurements, either. Find out which ones and why here.
