Accuracy

[PaulBz]

Hello everyone in the FitBit Community !

I was a long time user of the Amazon Halo Band, which is being discontinued on July 1, so I purchased the FitBit Charge 5. I do notice the numbers and metrics are slightly askew.  I am thinking that the FitBit should be the more accurate of the two devices.  If so, I was living a lie for the past year !

I cycle, run, jog, walk and weight lift daily.  My routine is constant so not much variation there.

Just wondering what others may think, especially if they used other body metric trackers as well.

Thanks

Side note:  What weekly Active Points are most people accomplishing?  I break 1,000 each week but wasn't sure if that was bad, normal or Tom Brady-like

Double thanks

Hello @PaulBz and welcome to the Community.  It's hard to find a side-by-side comparison of these two devices.  The Quantified Scientist reviews all brands of devices and has them on his YouTube channel.  He tests all devices the same way.  You need to search for the Charge 5 and Halo separately.  Then make your own decision.

Weekly active zone minutes are very individual.  Your total seems typical for someone as active as you.  The default setting is 300 minutes per week, because this is the minimum activity recommendation from the CDC and WHO.
