Fitbit is being sued for measuring your heart rate incorrectly

Fitbit

Fitbit, a leading name is the wearable fitness tracker market, has been delivered a class action lawsuit from three people on the grounds that the company's PurePulse Trackers do not accurately monitor heart rates as advertised.

The plaintiffs, Kate McLellan, Teresa Black and David Urban, each argue that the readings on their Fitbit devices were off. Black alleges in the lawsuit that in one instance, her personal trainer manually recorded her heart rate at 160bpm, while her Charge HR device had her heart rate at only 82bpm.
