It's basic scrutiny of an article. If a company primarily sells fitness watches, publishing articles on fitness will net them sales, whether it's true or not. The incentive to be correct isn't there, unlike more rigorous sources of information.
It's the same reason you shouldn't blindly believe the marketing words on the back of a box of cereal.

I wear a fitness watch similar to a Polar and would abandon my brand if they started espousing health pseudoscience.
