My cardiologist suggested that I get an apple watch to monitor my heart rate since I have an arrhythmia. I wanted to ask what model would be best/ would suffice for heart rate monitoring/fitness.

I am a medical doctor living a relatively sedentary lifestyle and is not very keen on any added features that would add to my anxiety like notifications popping up. My forearms are pretty slim and would prefer a watch that isn’t too big as well.

Your help would be much appreciated.

I'd say Ultra 1/2. It has a bigger battery and will last about 3 days if you don't do anything. I charge it during shower and that will give you enough battery to monitor heart rate 24/7(If that's what you are looking for). But then, other non-apple fit band should have longer battery life than Ultra
