About these reviews
These are independent, criteria-based reviews of HRV trackers, wearables and recovery tools — each product scored on the same rubric (measurement accuracy, data access, app and ecosystem, comfort, value) rather than a vibe or a sponsorship. The scoring method is public, and the same axes apply to every device so scores are comparable across the catalogue.
We keep this independent on purpose. The links here are plain product links, not affiliate links, so a review has nothing to gain from steering you toward a purchase. And ONDA — our own app — is deliberately left out of the scored reviews entirely; when you want to see how ONDA stacks up against the alternatives, that lives separately in our labelled comparisons, never mixed into the independent scores.
