How Accurate is Heart Rate on Galaxy Watch 5 Pro?

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro BioActive sensor provides accurate heart rate monitoring for most activities—comparable to chest straps for steady-state exercise.

Expected Accuracy

Condition	Accuracy
Resting	±2-5 bpm
Moderate exercise	±5-10 bpm
Intense exercise	±10-15 bpm

For most users, accuracy is excellent for fitness tracking and health monitoring.

Factors Affecting Accuracy

Watch fit (most important):

Must be snug but comfortable
1-2 finger widths above wrist bone
Too loose = inaccurate readings

Other factors:

Tattoos may interfere with sensor
Vigorous arm movement reduces accuracy
Extreme cold reduces blood flow
Irregular heart rhythm (AFib)

Optimize Heart Rate Accuracy

Wear watch snugly on top of wrist
Position 1-2 finger widths above wrist bone
Use sport band for workouts
Allow 2-3 minutes warmup for calibration
Clean sensor regularly

Continuous vs On-Demand

Continuous monitoring:

24/7 tracking in background
Resting heart rate and trends
Sleep heart rate
High/low HR alerts

On-demand:

Manual measurement (15 seconds)
More accurate than continuous
Good for quick checks

When to Use Chest Strap

Watch is sufficient for:

Jogging, running (steady pace)
Cycling, hiking, walking
General fitness tracking
Resting HR and sleep

Chest strap better for:

High-intensity intervals (HIIT)
Competitive racing
Precise zone training
Maximum accuracy needs

Most Common Fix

If readings seem inaccurate, tighten your band slightly. A loose watch is the #1 cause of heart rate errors during exercise.
