Because chest straps (when used properly) are hands-down more accurate, you can get some phenomenal information that you simply can't get from wrist-optical readings. You can capture breathing rate (with Garmins at least), HRV, Lactate Threshold (both with a watch, or you can manually estimate it) and you can identify heart rate anomalies like flutters, arrhythmias, and spikes (sorry, I'm not a cardiologist, so I can't name them all). Now even chest straps warn you NOT TO USE THEM AS MEDICAL DEVICES, but I suspect this is mostly because of the many ways you can still get bad readings (mostly user error), but a properly fitted and lubricated chest strap that gives you a flutter or a few spikes, followed by your own feeling of weirdness "somewhere inside" is at least a more reliable signal that maybe it's time to visit the doctor. The whole debate over reliability is CONTROVERSIAL, and both sides make good arguments, but the usefulness of a chest strap in telling you something you may already know, but are ignoring during a run (remember, humans aren't always rational, especially while in pain or when motivated), like your heart rate is rising fast and it's probably dehydration, or an arrhythmia along with a funny feeling, these signals make the choice of a more accurate chest strap a no-brainer

You may argue that optical readers can also do that, but the problem is that—as I noted above—optical readers are far more likely to give false positives. The problem with false positives is the same as with the car alarm that rings too often

Finally, chest straps can also suffer many problems of their own, but this is far less likely if you replace the strap, lubricate it, and replace them once you notice they are giving consistently bad readings. Like all things, chest straps wear out too (I'm in the process of getting another H10).

I repeatedly see people post how inaccurate smart watch/fitness tracking wrist bands are inaccurate and that chest strap heart tracker are superior.

So I bought a chest strap heart tracker to compare the two. The results are pretty similar.

Chest Strap:  
161 bpm HR avg

179bpm HR max

&amp;#x200B;

Smart Watch:

163 bpm HR avg

179  bpm HR max

&amp;#x200B;

I'm going to keep comparing them but so far they seem pretty even. So why are there so many posts about how unreliable smart watch/fitness tracking wrist bands are in tracking heart rate?

I compared chest strap heart monitor vs smart watch - results are pretty similar

 We see that with Garmin for example, and their Bevo Sport, which is roughly the same size that's actually a tiny bit smaller and that does have GPS in it. So it's a bit of a give-and-take Historically, we've seen Fitbit push folks up to their higher end products. In this case, the Ionic has GPS in it. The Versa does not, but it's just like this and has connected GPS talking to your phone

 They have all this data, but nobody's been really actually utilizing that data for anything. It's just been piles and piles of data that you're supposed to somehow correlate together and make some suggestions on. So that's the first piece. The second piece is a sleep scorecard Fitbit of course, has been tracking asleep for a long-ass time and they track a lot of sleep

 Now the Ness Po2 sensor was also technically in the Versa and Ionic lineups, but in neither case were they actually leveraging it. The consumer itself couldn't see the data from that. in the case of all three, that's coming later on this year with these new sleep insights. but in the meantime, Spo2 is basically the relative blood oxygenation level that'll go ahead and show you again on your app, not on the device itself

 They're starting to take some of the data they have. They're in a big data sort of way to use a term that's overused and do something with that, and that's something. you'll see both of those later on this year. So speaking of later on this year, the Fitbit charge 3 will be shipping in October

Fitbit Charge 3 Hands-on: 17 Things To Know

 On the plus side, the 5 buttons allow for 10 possible quick input shortcuts, making the device faster to use, in some situations.  Style:  Garmin Vivomove Style/Luxe - 9/10 Garmin Vivoactive 4 - 7/10 Fitbit Versa 2 - 6/10 Fitbit Charge 3 - 5/10 Garmin Instinct - 5/10  The Style/Luxe is clearly the favorite where looks are concerned. It is objectively gorgeous, whether data is being displayed or not.  Down the list is the Vivoactive 4 and Versa 2, which are both attractive pieces of glass, and like the Style/Luxe, offer industry-standard interchangeable bands

 The Vivoactive 4, however, has the added benefit of a more standard watch-style body, while the Versa 2 is a square, clearly emblematic of a smart watch.  Further down are the Charge 3 and Instinct, which are both obvious utility bands. The Charge 3 is benefitted by its smaller size, while the Instinct is a more standard tactical watch-style appearance.  Conclusion:  Both Fitbit and Garmin offer some fantastic features

 Assuming many of these stats and calculated metrics are relatively accurate, there is a wealth of health information and insights to be unlocked that is simply non existent in Garmin Connect.  If I have learned anything from testing these devices, it is that there is no perfect tracker. Therefore, it is up to the user to weigh what is most important and decide which device and ecosystem may work best for his or her needs.

 There are tons of additional features in these devices which I will not be covering because they are not important for my use case.  Over the last few days, I have thoroughly researched and/or tested the following potential candidates:  Fitbit Charge 3 Fitbit Versa 2 Garmin Vivoactive 4 Garmin Instinct Garmin Vivomove Style/Luxe (researched, not yet tested)  The decision has been so close, I developed a decision matrix grid, where I evaluated and scored each device based on 9 criteria that are important to me:  Quality of Data Presentation in App Quality of Data Presentation on Device Accuracy of Sensor Data (Heart Rate, Steps) Sleep Tracking Calories Burned Tracking Other Calculated Metrics Battery Life User Interface Style  Each section I assigned a score of up to 10 points, except Accuracy of Sensor Data, which receives up to 20 points (10 for heart rate, 10 for Steps).  Quality of Data Presentation in App:  Fitbit - 7/10 Garmin - 4/10  Fitbit receives high marks for making large amounts of data over multiple days easy to understand, featuring week-long charts and multiple daily-views at glance on the same screen. Fitbit also earns extra points for how easy it is to export data in multiple formats, including third-party apps which allow for minute-by-minute export of heart rate data, for example

Why I’m Torn Between Entering Into the Garmin vs. Fitbit Ecosystem:

 if having a great watch or having a really smart device are important to you I'd say this is probably like three out of five for me personally. I'm gonna go ahead and give it three out of five because for me the fitness stuff is it's it's very interesting to have I Love that My Pebble does fitness tracking, but for me it's not the number one motivation for wearing a device like this. If you're interested in checking out the Fitbit charge 3 on Am of course, I've got links in the description down below. While you're down there, you hit the like button for the video

 Hmm, it's a lot of reading. Alright, we're not learning anything. I Think we're gonna have to go ahead and crack this open see what you get inside the box. but really to figure out is a Fitbit charge three all the pebble I need I'm have to live with it for a few days so it's good and open up and see what we get inside

 Alright, so we got the Fitbit charge three in a box to be honest I don't know what ton about this. so this little box store is actually gonna be informative for me. Let's go ahead and go around the box, figure out what we can about the Fitbit charge 3 before I unbox it. Just looking here down the side, you can tell already that the Fitbit is definitely geared more toward Fitness than you know something like the pebble or even you know, frankly, something like the Apple watch

 It's got a chance. It's got seven days of battery life and it doesn't have a color screen. but I don't care I don't need a color screen I just need something that does a few things and we'll get into it. can I be happy with a Fitbit charge three? We're gonna find out

Fitbit Charge 3 Super Review

 They were my introduction to fitness tracking and gave me tons of invaluable insight in a very convenient and organized way, but unless things change and there's a return to quality before they fall to the wrong side of a seachange (Remember when Myspace and Facebook seemed like they were unwavering, monolithic staples of our digital culture), I have to jump ship before their inevitable decline.

  Also contributing negatively to the score is what I mentioned about the subscription service. I never really used the guided excercises because I have some free apps that I like better and my slow internet doesn't interfere with them because they're not streaming video. I think if other guided excercise apps didn't exist, Fitbit's contributions in that department would be much more impressive.  I also remember a time before they "updated" the sleep data when it was much more useful and easy to read

 I don't like the "sleep score" because it's so vague and arbitrary. Sure it seems to correlate to some percievable sleep quality, I'm a Behaviorist by trade and there's no way any of my superiors would let me get away with presenting something like a "sleep score" without a heck of a lot more data explaining it.  FINAL VERDICT- I'm currently browsing Garmin's alternative options with a heavy heart.  (Edit: You can stop reading here unless you want to witness the overly-sentimental ramblings of a late 20-something man blow everything out of proportion as if this was the end of a relationship

  MOBILE APP- 3/5 I ended up giving the mobile app a 3/5 because there's so much good with logging food (which I hold personally responsible for my successful 20lb weight loss over a 2 month period) and the Active Minutes, Steps, Heart Rate, and weight tracking. I love that it connects to my smartscale (Weight Guru) and uses that info to graph my Lean muscle vs. Body fat.

More exciting features than its predecessor... just inferior where it truely counts.

 I have owned the Alta without the hr monitor- which I loved the most because of its slim design, but also disliked because it didn’t have the hr tracker. The band was annoying, because it would pop off when I did several wrist motions, or hit a corner. Due to that, I actually lost it. Then I owned the Fitbit Charge HR 2, it helped me lose 30 pounds! However I have extremely sensitive skin and no matter how much I cleaned it, I kept getting irritable rashes, and with no interchangeable bands- I gave the product to a friend of mine

 Due to that, I actually lost it. Then I owned the Fitbit Charge HR 2, it helped me lose 30 pounds! However I have extremely sensitive skin and no matter how much I cleaned it, I kept getting irritable rashes, and with no interchangeable bands- I gave the product to a friend of mine. Then I had the Fitbit versa, and it was just too large and dull for my liking. I left it in a friends car and it was stolen, thank god because now we’re here

 Matte black silicone, it’s very light and smooth! I also have a ganglion cyst on my left wrist (reoccurring) that my physician says is due to lifting heavyweights (heavyweight lifter for 14 years). Usually these trackers would immediately agitate the cyst in this weird pulsing like way, but nada. For the price and function of this watch, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t rate it any lower than a 4. I’m extremely pleased and I hope the pedometer works better than the previous ones with my jogger (stroller)

Comfortable, sleek and functional

 My blood pressure cuff showed 74 BPM. Also, the Charge 3 is now showing that I am burning over 11,000 caloires a day. The time was also suddenly 6 hours ahead of the actual time. I don't know if I somehow damaged it or what caused it to stop woking correctly
