For my pcos ladies on metformin, interesting news article. Be careful out there. The good news I hear is that metformin leaves the body pretty quickly so in 2 days you won't have it in you anymore. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2020/04/05/researchers-warn-that-covid-19-treatment-t

I have Versa 2—absolutely love it!
FYI fitbits cannot accurately track the calories you burn. There are too many variables. Neither can Apple Watch nor anything else.

C1 you've missed the point. If I've burned 500 calories from a workout, I absolutely should be "eating back" most of those calories. If my calorie goal is a 300 deficit, with the work out, I would be at a 800 calorie deficit. That isn't my goal at all. You need fuel for your workouts and unless you're burning the same amount of calories for each workout (which would probably be another reason to plateau), your deficit should be based on a predefined number that you adjust periodically, not based on your daily workout. That's why it helps to know that I burned a significant amount of calories and can eat a bit more. Of course I'm not assuming my calorie burn or calorie entry is exactly correct, but that certainly leaves plenty of room for a hearty snack or extra half serving or whatever.
Personally, I used this approach last year and lost 28lbs.
And precision does matter a ton. If the tracker is telling me that at rest, I've burned 1600 calories, and then when moderately active I've burned 2000 calories, and when active, I'm at 2500. Then precision matters. Because those same metrics will be repeatable. I really don't care if the actual values are 1500/1900/2400. The point is that if the thing is precise, it is accurately telling me when I've burned more or less calories, even if the calorie number itself isn't correct. And it's not like it's so widely inaccurate either.
You're saying nothing is accurate, so I'm not really sure what you're suggesting would help?
I have the inspire HR, it’s small so looks good on my small wrists and it has the functionalities you are looking for
