About this evidence rating
A systematic review found commercial wearables accurate for heart rate in laboratory settings but variable by manufacturer and device, and a meta-analysis found consumer wrist-worn sleep trackers differ from polysomnography on measures such as total sleep time, sleep efficiency and time awake. Proprietary scores (e.g., 'readiness' or 'recovery') are not validated clinical measures. The rating applies to the category of device, not to any brand.
