That's not how error percentage works and why do we all just accept that everything has become mediocre?

- jstummbillig 2y agoIn what fantasy past has cheap, personal activity tracking a) existed and b) been better? Could it be better still? Sure, but I see no reason to assume that people are somehow lowering standards and not working on making it both cheaper and better all the time.
- jisnsm 2y agoThe fact that a technology hasn't existed before is not an excuse to sell that technology with an implementation that doesn't work.
- jajko 2y agoI am even OK with selling, but they should drop the usual PR lies and be honest. No business will ever do that though, consumers in general are not that smart/ have good critical thinking. So I don't see an easy solution apart from governmental regulation. But you need a consistently stellar government for that.
- pc86 2y agoWell we're discussing whether this constitutes "doesn't work [at all]" or "doesn't work [perfectly]."
- ForTheKidz 2y agoThere are multiple meanings of the word "error". I just don't care how accurate that the watch is (thus far anyway) because the perception of progress—delusional or no—is why I use it. Generally, though, my perceived performance is reflected in the relative numbers. If I felt otherwise I too would be complaining about accuracy.
