tl;dr: sensed via photoplethysmography (PPG), the industry norm of wristmounted hearrate-monitors; accuracy optimized by keeping device snug during active exercise [see https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1565.htm#How]; notably, the ⧼Sense⸴Versa⧽ model№s ≧⧼1⸴3⧽ do not offer disengaging the PPG light sensor, and older devices may deviate in readings (i.e.: be less accurate) compared to newer counterparts/options «due to changes in the heart-rate sensors themselves or algorithms».
