so it's sped up to make people feel like they're doing they're better than they are, fitness wise?

sounds like the "jundersized, altered" ruler JJ and weeder bought to measure their junk.... it's off by 3/8" inch per inch listed, making them think hey have four inches

I wonder why that attorney went nuts and said it's off by 20?

Honestly... if you say it might be off 5 either way.... to me... that's still not accurate enough. Some doctors want their patients specifically in one heart rate zone... and do not want them to go over.

You know those treadmills and stair climbers at gyms? I wonder how accurate their heart rate grips are?

Well i mean at worst its off 5 either way.

And thats just me checking it, im not doing it under optimum conditions.

Now, if i had heart disease and my health was at risk, id ask the doctor for his recomendations. But mostly people are buying it as another tool to help them. And if its off a little, then thats expected for just a £20 premium.
