Simply put light pressure on your wrist vein, and look at your watch to see how many times the heart beats in a minute, by which the normalcy or any abnormal behavior can be determined.

A pulse is the measure of your heartbeat and how many times it beats.
Measure the pulse in the wrist area, radial pulse.
What does the pulse measure
The number of times your heart beats in a minute, the heart rate.
Medical professionals measure pulse rates by 1 minute to ensure accuracy. If they measured it by 15 seconds and multiplied it by four, they are assuming that the pulse will stay the same to one minute, but the pulse might change during that time. I hope this has been useful.
You can check your pulse at your wrists, your neck, or underarms.
what does the pulse measure

Humans typically have one pulse that can be felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist (radial pulse) or neck (carotid pulse). The pulse reflects the heart's rhythm and rate as it pumps blood through the arteries. While we can measure the pulse in multiple locations, it is essentially a single physiological phenomenon.

An oximeter is a device to measure the oxygen saturation level in blood. I believe that a "pulse" oximeter has a sensor to measure pulse as well, though it wouldn't surprise me if some devices not having such a sensor but otherwise looking and working like a pulse oximeter were casually called that too.
