You can use a Wear OS watch to take heart rate measurements. In the Google Fit app, you can track your heart rate for a workout or over time.
Important: Fit won’t save heart rate data for children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country).

You can also use a Bluetooth heart rate sensor, like a chest strap.
Note: This feature is only available on Wear OS 3 and below.
