Hey all, since I am the furthest person from a soft ware designer, I have a question for those far more knowledgeable than I. In our latest firmware update, quite a number of new Ionic faces were added, apparently by average, non-Fitbit Joes or Jills who have skills in software design and wonderfully creative ideas. My simple question is: Are all of the heart rate measures on the myriad watch faces now available and made by private individuals, not Fitbit designers, equally accurate? Or does the skill of the designer influence the accuracy of the heart rate metrics, and maybe even the various other metrics as well? I am most curious to get some expert opinions?

I'm interested in seeing the "expert" opinions, too, @fitnfiftyone.  Since the watch faces only display the data generated by the tracker, and don't calculate it, I don't know why they would be different.  But, I am not an expert.
