Charge 2 here

Not sure if i like it, it's great for cardio and it...seems fine for weightlifting as far as i can tell

There are a couple of issues i have with it, the biggest one being that it has a habit of being unable to read my heart rate when sweat gets under the monitor
> mfw a fucking FITNESS device that has issues functioning when the body sweats

Yeah, I've got the same one. One thing I'm unsure about - I take it you've been setting it to exercise mode, weights etc? Well, when it's in weights mode for example, it goes to a stop watch. Now, suppose you do three sets and have a break of up to a minute between sets. Do you let it run during those breaks, or stop it? I tend to just pause it when I have a longer break before moving onto a different exercise, but maybe that's wrong. I can't find any guidance on that. Obviously your heart rate will still be elevated, but you're not actually lifting at that moment so I'm unsure.

I have no idea but I wanted you to know that I also can't find any info on this.
But other then that it's a pretty good device to help monitor my TDEE more accurately

So you think it's an accurate appraisal of TDEE then? Can its numbers be trusted? I suppose time will tell, but as I said I don't feel as though I'm doing anything different than usual but at a deficit of 500-1000 per day I ought to see results.

Charge 2 here as well. TDEE and heart rate are the most imporant to me, most metrics seem accurate.

I have to admit there is not way the active minutes is accurate though. It's always way too high.

I wondered about that. It made some sense - it was at its highest on my walk to and from work, and at work I could see where I'd gone up and down the stairs - but I think the level of exercise required to count as 'active' is a little bit low. Maybe there ought to be provision to move the threshold. I also wondered if it might be based on heartrate, so if it was fair elevated then it would assume you were under stress. So for a fat fuck a walk might well do it.

it's a meme, you do not need to measure ur calories spent on exercise, only the calories you eat

I have the Blaze. It works great.
It's worth it if you find it on sale, I got mine for like $190 AUD.

Got the Charge HR, the sleep tracker helps alot and resting HR gives me a pretty good idea at where im at heart-health wise.

Have a ONE, and the accuracy of the actual step / distance calculator is pretty hilarious. On a 1 mile track, it will generally measure about 0.7 miles. This varies wildly between 0.6 and 0.8 though, so it's not even accurate to ITSELF.

So yeah, I distrust the actual readings almost completely. The only reason I continue to use it is to get a company-sponsored health insurance discount. Even then, the syncing is so bad that I have to babysit it anyway

I have a charge hr an I am obsessed with it. If you like tracking intake anyways then u will like it too

The app is OK but I still use MyFitnessPal to check recipes since Fitbit is not good at that.

Is it accurate? Maybe...It seems to round down at least so for weight loss that's for the best

My one con is that the band aggravates my skin
