As I've mentioned before since we have no idea how these are calibrated or maintain calibration I question that we can call any of them accurate for fitness or a best buy.

As someone who firmly believes that nearly everything can be measured, we at nextpit have developed a benchmark system specifically for wearables. Our approach is grounded in comparing these so-called "most accurate" devices against industry-leading technologies. For example, heart rate sensors are benchmarked against chest straps, widely recognized for their precision. For sleep tracking—a particularly challenging aspect of wearable health monitoring—we compare devices against a validated reference model. In my case, the gold standard I rely on is the Apple Watch Series 9, which, according to my research, aligns most closely with results obtained in sleep labs. Apple's sleep tracking module is exceptionally well-tuned.
With this framework, we put various devices to the test to deliver insights that are as close to real-world accuracy as possible. However, it’s crucial to recognize that these are approximations; the most precise metrics still come from certified, medically approved devices. Yet, from my experience with wearables, I've found that certain devices excel at generating reliable reports. Personally, I’m a big fan of the Whoop 4.0. While it may show some deviations in sleep metrics, particularly in quantifying stages like REM and deep sleep, I can gauge these discrepancies by comparing its data with that of my Apple Watch. This comparative approach helps me understand percentage differences and derive a more accurate picture of my sleep patterns.
Ultimately, I believe it's possible to get a fairly accurate sense of one’s health metrics, but this should ideally involve a combination of multiple devices and thorough research. Better yet, having a physician willing to interpret fitness data with you can elevate your journey towards a truly data-driven approach to fitness and health. My advice? Stay curious, and remain open to new innovations.

When we talk about the technologies then we talk about its compatibility and its features. Fitness tracker comes up with the different features and there are varieties of different trackers which have different features and incompatibilities
i think Garmin vivosmart hr+ is good according to its features. Because of GPS system and retrieving of notifications , automatic sleep detection , tracks heart rate 24/7 , device features Move Alert , compatible with both iOS and Android. Health occupies the main part in our life in all aspects. this is the best thing which tracks each and every thing that we do . heart rate , steps and others.

My wife bought the Garmin Vivofit 2 mainly because it had a 12 month battery, bigger dispaly and was water resistant. The equivalent Fitbit had to be recharged every day or two

I would say the Xiaomi Mi band 1s is a better choice than the mi band with the heart rate monitor. Though it is $15 expensive. I grabbed one 2 weeks ago from GeekBuying and it arrived this Monday. You AndroidPit may consider to review it:)

I have a mi band as well - it's excellent. I can also get 60+ days on a single charge. Accuracy is comparable to the vivofit and fitbit (the only other ones I've tried). I really like the sleep tracking and vibrating alarm.

My personal pick, Mi Band. I have had it since February and I am seeing two months on a charge. I am not overly active, so I do not want to spend smart watch money on a tracker.
The only other I would consider is the Activité Pop. It looks like a watch and performs that function beyond tracking. Having seeing it in person, it is a very nice size.
My issue with most trackers I have tried on, I have a 8 inch wrist, most trackers do not fit me. The two I mentioned do. Also the Huawei Talkband 2 fits nicely and does a great job. I use it for the headset function more than anything else.
