Is fitbit really worth it?
Most of the devices can tell you exactly how far you ran, how high your heart rate goes during a workout, and how active you’ve been during a day. In short: If you don’t care exactly how many steps you’ve taken today or measuring your heart rate over time, a Fitbit probably isn’t worth it for you.

A Fitbit is only a waste of money if you don’t use it to its full potential. I would then argue that 9 out of 10 people don’t use them properly, making my point. And the 1 out of 10 that uses it properly doesn’t really “need” a fitbit to tell them how many steps they took.

How does my Fitbit know I’m sleeping?
Fitbit estimates your sleep stages using a combination of your movement and heart-rate patterns. When you haven’t moved for about an hour, your tracker or watch assumes that you’re asleep. Additional data—such as the length of time your movements are indicative of sleep behavior (such as rolling over, etc.)

In general, the devices tended to overestimate sleep and underestimate wake. The trackers tested also weren’t accurate in quantifying sleep stages (REM, non-REM). However, Fitbit and Oura were deemed the most accurate out of eight commercial brands that were tested.
How does my Fitbit know I’m walking?
Fitbits feature a three-axis accelerometer. They can tell when they are moving forward and backward, side to side, and up or down — e.g., moving in three dimensions. And by crunching the movement data recorded, your Fitbit can tell if you were walking (or running) along or simply tapping your hand on a desk.
Should I wear my Fitbit in the shower?

Fitbit, however, recommends that you get it out of there as quickly as possible. Fitbit doesn’t recommend wearing your tracker 24/7, but given the Surge’s level of water-resistance, you could wear it in the shower or washing the dishes, just not in the pool or the hot tub.
Can you wash your hands with a Fitbit on?
Do not use hand soap, body soap, dish soap, hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes, household cleaners or other similar cleaning products to clean the band or device, as those are difficult to remove and could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin.
