In anticipation of the famous London Marathon, held annually since 1981, Which? magazine published a list of fitness trackers that are least accurate in measuring distance. Leading the list of inaccuracies was the Garmin Vivosmart 4, which had a margin of error of 41.5%.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Garmin Vivosmart 4 was found to significantly underestimate the distance covered by runners. While they actually ran 37 miles, the device reported only 26.2 miles. The Samsung Gear S2 fared slightly better, also underreporting the actual distance by 38%. Overall, most of the least accurate fitness trackers reported lower results for the marathon runners testing them, with the exception of the Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) and Huawei Watch 2 Sport, which added 13% and 28% to the actual distance, respectively.<\/p>\n
Experts from Which? noted that the accuracy of fitness trackers does not depend on the manufacturer. The publication cited several striking examples showing that products from the same brand can have varying levels of accuracy. For instance, Garmin, which topped the list of inaccuracies, had the Vivoactive 3 model, which provided a 100% accurate result. Apple, which also made the list of least accurate fitness tracker manufacturers, previously released the Watch Series 1, which overestimated the distance covered by only 1%.<\/p>\n
