Versa 2 accuracy

[hayleah]

Hi, 

I'm looking to get a smart watch to track my steps , calories burned and my overall fitness. I've been looking at the Versa 2 for a while but I have heard mixed reviews on how accurate it is. Can anyone who has one please let me know what you think on this and how you find it. I mainly exersise through running and circut training. 

Thanks

I think it depends mostly on your expectations.

Let's look at steps for instance.  Realize that nothing on your wrist can tell exactly what your legs are doing.  If you are going to be constantly looking for errors, you are going to find them; for instance getting a few extra steps from being restless and rolling around in your sleep, or while washing dishes.  On the other hand, if you are not going to be constantly checking for exact accuracy in small doses, but instead trust that they generally even out over a full day, then it's a great tool.  For instance, I have a general idea how many steps I should have by noon to reach my daily goal.  If I notice I'm not near that, I'm likely to take a 10 or 15 minute walk around the house to get caught up, and that's exercise I would never think of doing without wearing a tracker.
