I once left my fitbit in the wash (and then dryer) and was wondering why I was suddenly getting all these "congrats on hitting your steps goal!" alerts on my phone.
Mine has never registered a stair climb, despite my office being on the third story of the building, and I typically park on the 4th or 5th floor of the garage.
Its sleep stats are also laughable. It's shown me as sleeping right through the time I was showering and cooking breakfast.
I noticed the condition of the road had a significant affect on the readings. I think we could use supervised learning to perhaps determine different activities.
my truck runs on five of the six cylinders available to it, and shakes like it does. Holding the steering wheel with my left hand means I hit step goals like crazy.
You're right to be concerned. I paid $1500 for it, three times that to have the misfire issue "fixed" (among a bunch of other delayed maintenance), and after the misfire came back I gave up. I've been driving it on 5 cylinders for years now.
If only I could find an "open loop" switch to just disable the engine monitoring. Everything runs fine in open loop mode.
Wow , thought I was the only one. I accidentally left mine in the washer/dryer the other day. Was expecting it to be broken, it came out with 4,000 steps :)
