Best Apple Watch for heart monitoring? (alien.top)

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.

Series 6,7,8, and 9 in theory all the same heart sensor, not sure of the processor makes much difference in the heart monitoring functions, but if it does go for the 9, otherwise, get the cheapest you can find out of the series 6-8. The ultra’s would be as good as well. One thing to keep in mind the watch band matters, finding the right fit will help keep the heart rate monitor accurate, so find a band that fits well.
