Is it accurate enough? Thinking of buying a fitbit charge wireless tracker and wondering is the M8 Co processor does the job well or the fitbit is accurate where it's worth getting?

I don't think it's as accurate as a Fitbit or a dedicated fitness device as those devices are designed for the sole purpose of fitness tracking. I always think my iphone is gonna pick up random "movement" like when I'm just fumbling around with it in my room or something.

I find it to be very accurate compared to what I get from my Fitbit. I think there was a 100 step difference when I compared the two. I am going to do a full day comparison once I get a replacement charger for my Fitbit and I will let everyone know the results from there.

I tried a Fitbit Force for a few weeks. The iPhone is much, much more accurate than any wrist-worn fitness tracker if you carry the iPhone in your pocket. Nothing surprising there, though.

I find there's some inconsistency with the flights climbed as my 6 Plus reported 5 flights yesterday and only two today even though I've done the exact same amount today as yesterday.

I think that my Misfit gives me a more accurate accounting of my activity. The stairs counter never seems to be consistent, as some others have reported, too.
