The thing I really like about Google Fit (and idk if others like Apple do this) is it automatically detects when I'm cycling to/from work. I once checked it with a stopwatch and it was bang on.I have a Huwawei Android Wear watch (okay, not the cheapest of the breed) but the Google fit tracking does seem to correlate with the other apps I run during activities. By which I mean, cycling and walking the dog. It also has the bonus of actually looking like a nice watch.
Others at work have Tomtom this and Garmin that and I've yet to have a clear explanation of what their 90s Casio look-a-likey actually offers extra. That said, they're mostly runners, therefore clearly deluded.

Lately however it's not been working too well and I can't figure out why. I was thinking of getting an Android watch so I can just hit start/stop on the watch rather than on phone which is in my bag, but it's just an additional thing for me to charge so I'm put off it right now. Lovely looking watch though.
With fitbit heart rate: yes I see this and similar devices do not show reliable HR data; for that you need a chest strap but that's a faff to put on. Some friends of mine love these devices purely as motivational accessories which is great too.
