What do you mean with that? Depending on the recency of your device they can be quite accurate. I use a Garmin though because they last longer on battery and are a bit more oriented towards sports and health. Some studies I found back then suggested Garmin is not that far off lab testing on most metrics. Yes even the guestimated ones like vo2max.

    I mean what I said. There's a reason it's in their manual. And it's not in the back of the "legally cover our butts'" section. It's right next to the description of the feature itself

    What exactly is in the manual? I'm pretty sure they don't literally say it's a gimmick.

    You'd have to look up the manual specific to your device, just google 'm. Generally it's right next to the explanation about the feature where it tells you it's not suitable for using it to collect health data for any purpose other than that it's fun
