Be cautious with wrist-worn wearables. Hard to measure HRV when they cannot consistently measure HR. The tech will continue to improve but I worry the wrist may be too “noisy”. Review of Validity and Reliability of Garmin Activity Trackers https://t.co/fBd6oHvug2

What people are saying
The discussion highlights persistent doubts about the accuracy of Garmin activity trackers, especially regarding heart rate and HRV, as exemplified by comments such as 'Bah c'est vraiment vraiment pas génial du tout,' and skepticism about their current reliability. Words like 'pas génial' and expressions of doubt convey disappointment, while mentions of ongoing research and the need for systematic testing emphasize critical engagement with the article's findings but suggest a cautious or skeptical tone overall.
Most posts express skepticism or disappointment about Garmin trackers' reliability, reflecting disagreement with the perception of their overall accuracy.
Abstract in brief
- This systematic review evaluated how accurate and reliable Garmin activity trackers are in measuring various health metrics like steps, distance, energy expenditure, heart rate, sleep, speed, and elevation.
- It found that Garmin trackers are generally good to excellent at measuring steps and show high reliability, but are less accurate for distance, energy expenditure, and heart rate, with some measurements exceeding acceptable error margins.
- Overall, more research is needed, especially for features like sleep, speed, elevation, and the consistency of measurements across different devices.]

@PhysioSceptique @JurisKine https://t.co/UOoM6hCuFW Je suis en train de finir mon mémoire de kiné du sport sur la fiabilité des montres connectés pour la mesure de la FC et Garmin... Bah c'est vraiment vraiment pas génial du tout. Je me demande vraiment comment ils ont eu et conservé leur image de "sport"
