Forget all the sports-type monitors (Fitbit, Garmin, Polar chest straps, etc). Not a single one of them I've ever tried could accurately count a heart rate during afib.

My cheap oximeter displays accurate AVG HR while in afib. Tested against my EKG monitor.

Interesting.
I don't see great amplitude variations in my tracings while in afib, despite feeling stronger and weaker beats.. That's maybe why my oximeter counts the beats reliably?

Sure, R-R variability monitors can approximate some sort of afib detector, especially for techies like you who invest the time needed to learn to interpret them, but that's old technology that's been completely replaced at this point, and the average person here isn't into doing the analyses you like to do.
You can buy a true ECG that can actually detect afib accurately and show you a waveform recording for (reportedly) under $50 on eBay. At this point in time I see no reasonable alternatives to the Kardia if you want accurate afib detection and recording, or Apple Watch, if you want real time recording that probably won't tell you if it detects afib because afib is usually over 120 bpm, but it's convenient.
I think there's a good reason why docs will accept Kardia recordings these days but not much of anything else.

You're an analyst by nature, I think, and you dig doing all these experiments and stuff.

You don't need an excuse to get one, or justify it. My hub has the Galaxy 3.. it's invaluable. It's a tool that helps you learn you! So quit making up excuses to not buy one :-P
I appreciate GN's posts.. I learn from them. Electrolytes, keep them up. Pay attention to the small signals.
Keep posting.
