activity and sleep accuracy

[teminator]

I have used the versa for ~2 months and finding finding the device is very inaccurate...

5K(3mi.) run shows 1.37miles and 3700 step...

go to a movie theater and it told me I was asleep for 90 minutes...

heart rate rarely matches rate from treadmill...

yet my iphone apple health app was spot on correct.

Are others having the same problem? or did I get a defective watch?

@teminator If your GPS gets killed during your run, it could happen. If the movie was boring and your heart rate was near resting HR (and you didn't move much), it could happen. Treadmill and bike HR monitors are not particularly accurate. There are posts here of people comparing heart rate captured by Versa with the strap. Mine seems to be accurate as well.

Thanks for the response but not the case with gps or movie. After using the watch daily for 2 months I have yet to get an accurate reading on activity(it is almost always low by 30-40%). I had a lot of other devices to compare against from others. Heart beat and sleep are harder to compare but seem more accurate, but I have found those numbers jump all over the place compared to expected. Wifi, notifications, and other watch functions work fine and battery life is good.

As of now, the versa is not much better than an inexpensive watch or free iphone health app.

@teminator Can you please elaborate re activity tracking? You mentioned running and GPS issues, but what about walking, auto-recognition etc? Also, after completing your run, can you see the map in the Fitbit mobile app? Is it complete? Does it miss anything or are there any weird straight lines?
