dbar123 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 My Garmin Vivoactive 3 smartwatch is laughably inaccurate. The heart rate monitor is often off by around 30 beats/min (as verified by taking a manual pulse) and it seems to randomly decide whether my exercise minutes count as intensity minutes or not. When biking I usually use my Polar Veritysense arm band to take over heart rate duty but that monitor has its own stupid issues. Are you happy with your tracker? I’d hate to upgrade only to find out the current tech is no better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Pensant Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Timely post! When I ride I use a Garmin 1030 which syncs with Strava. It’s accurate as hell. When I run, hike or walk I generally use the Strava app on my iPhone, which is also quite accurate. I finally bought an Apple Watch 8 last summer, and it always undercounts my mileage and is useless for my cardio/lifting program which I do every other day. I’ve only worn it a few times and hate it. I never put my gym time on Strava as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ BenjaminNicholas Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I trust my apple watch ultra, knowing what tech they pack into it. It's pretty accurate and has sensors that are spec-above most other trackers. However, I have huge questions about the monitor I wear when doing Orange Theory.

+ sniper Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I have a Fitbit. I don't think it's super ACCURATE. But it's consistent, and that is useful. mike carey, craigville beach and + BenjaminNicholas 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
