May 31, 2015 to be accurate without moving your arms it would need a heart rate monitor. Fitbit makes watches with heart rate monitors but they s---. I use a regular fitbit which counts steps and estimates calories burned by height and weight and I have a polar watch which is an accurate heart rate monitor when I work out. Once fitbit gets their s--- together with the heart rate monitor it should be good. I would look into the MotoActv and how accurate it's HR monitor is
Jun 17, 2015 Yes, let me just reply to that. (Obviously had to sign up again to check the replies in the Sweetchicka/zolt thread lol)
Jun 17, 2015 Might work good, but it won't have the same amount of features as a Polar / Garmin clock watch would. Got my self a Polar watch a month ago, happy with it. M400, not the most expensive one, but good enough for me
