Study Shows Fitbit highly inaccurate:

A class action lawsuit against Fitbit may have grown teeth following the release of a new study which claims the company's popular heart rate trackers are "highly inaccurate."

Researchers at the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona tested the heart rates of 43 healthy adults with Fitbit's PurePulse heart rate monitors, using the company's Surge watches and Charge HR bands on each wrist.

Subjects were then hooked up to a BioHarness device that produced an electrocardiogram (ECG), to record the heart's rhythm against the data being produced by Fitbit's devices.

Totally agree. My HR shown on my fitbit seems to be way to low during exercising.

Is there anyway to know if the step and distance tracker are anywhere close to being accurate? My wife wears one for counting steps and mileage more than anything.
