I’ll never trade my Garmin Instinct Solar for anything else, even knowing that the sleep and other estimates are not accurate. I am curious what the most accurate tool is on the market though, mostly out of curiosity.

If you're depending on your smartwatch to tell you the truth about how many calories you burned during a workout — well, don't.
Article straight to the point, I like it.
I have an Apple Watch and one of the main reasons I have it is the health tracking. That being said; no one should be under the impression that a wrist mounted wearable is going to be close to 100% accurate. It’s good as a guide and self comparison, but that’s about it.
