to be fair, most medium articles have some kind of plug like this at the end

I work for a very large wearable company so I have some knowledge of how heart rate sensors work
How did he know the timing of the peak? If he had a log it most likely simply had a time stamp of seconds. How does he correlate a random time stamp to the specific moment days after the event. Same comment about his heart rate hitting 130 when he shoves the gun into his ribs.
In general the story just feels fake.
Edit: do thieves really ask you to unlock your phone and banking apps? What app lets you send money that can't easily be traced?
It's pretty pointless stealing a modern phone without getting it unlocked, isn't it? If anything that's a detail that someone making up a story would forget about.
> 164 at the peak seems low for the drama/gravity of the situation.
Would you think it's more reasonable to reach ~190-200? (Assuming the writer of the Medium story is ~25.) My only perspective comes from running with my fitbit, where it's pretty easy to reach 170.
The other thing that's bullshit about the graph is that there are only 4 evenly spaced data points for what sounds like a 5-10 minute encounter. Don't believe it at all, why wouldn't you show real data? Or talk more about the data if that was the point of it?
