In order to measure your pulse you may use a watch or clock with a second hand. Make a note of the rate of the pulse, which is the number of beats per minute. Check the strength of the pulse to see if it is strong or weak and if the rhythm is regular or irregular.
- If you don't have a watch or a clock around, the Cleveland Clinic Health System recommends counting the beats you feel for 15 seconds and multiplying this by four to get your heart rate per minute:
- Check your pulse: _______________ (beats in 15 seconds) x 4 = ________________(your pulse)[1] You can count beats for 30 seconds and multiply by 2.

It depends on what you want to measure. Kilograms for mass. Centimetres for height. Degrees Celsius for temperature. Hertz for pulse (even though the unit is not made explicit). Millimetres of Mercury for blood pressure. etc.
How you can use a simple pendulum to measure the pulse rate?
Pulse and pendulum According to his first biographer Viviani, Galileo experimented with synchronizing two clocks -- the human pulse, and a pendulum -- in his student days at Pisa. The resulting invention, the "pulsilogium", represented the pulse rate as the length of the pendulum. Try making a pulsilogium: adjust the length of a pendulum so that its rate of swinging agrees with your own pulse. Mark the length. Then adjust the same pendulum for your lab partner's pulse -- is there a detectable difference in pulse rate? 2. Pendulum length and frequency It would be good to know what pendulum length means as a frequency (or pulse rate). http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/mpeterso/galileo/time2.htm
How many different ways are there to measure a pulse?
