I find it incredibly puzzling why Polar is left out of these conversations when it comes to wearable health tech when Polar pioneered a lot of the technology and releases white papers for all their functions.

For example, Garmin has "body battery" which is a pseudo science measure of who knows what and Polar does orthostatic tests (based on HRV). Polar won't even let you do that test with a watch, you need a chest strap because of a lot of similar reasons outlined in this paper
