I think there's probably something to this. Plenty of people complain about the HRM, myself among them. Weird things like spikes of 170+ bpm while doing nothing but walking, while at the same time recording 100 bpm while doing sprints? Pretty normal on the Fitbit, in my experience.

The step counts are completely inaccurate. I have the flu and haven't left the house all day. My Charge 2 HR tells me I've done 4,044 steps. Not likely.
What I've always wondered is if it is consistently inaccurate. I really don't care if it thinks I've done 4,044 steps today, when maybe I've done 200 if I'm lucky. However, when I do go and do 4,000 steps, does the cumulative total then show 8,044, or some other figure?
