Wow those are brutal numbers.
I don’t see how they will recover. The wearable fitness fad may have come to an end. Cheap plastic garbage bracelets with inaccurate stats that are feature hamstrung.
And what is the data really doing for people anyway? Really… it’s just a fad. You don’t really do anything with that heart rate data with Fitbit, not that it’s accurate anyway.
… with not a shred of support.
My heart-rate shows about what I’d expect – 50s when resting. When jogging? 100-130. Yes, I’ve TESTED it. I know a man who is in the 70s while resting and vertical … a TENNIS player.
Keep your cyncism (I’m being nice, here) to yourself.
In the end, it’s not the gadget, is what you do with it that matters.
