Charge 6. After using the ECG for about ten minutes, I found that the heart rate data was inaccurate, showing a rate that was lower by more than ten beats compared to my actual heart rate. Only restarting the device restored it to normal.

The heart monitor gives me very poor results when resting. Polar heart strap and ECG read 42 and 45 respectively while heart monitor reads 74.

When exercising the results are much closer.
