@kimlockhartga@beige.party me too. From what I've read, wrist-based smartwatches are just inherently less accurate, but unlike the little standard finger ones a fitbit could possibly be set to different calibration curves by the app. So someone could possibly set their skin tone!

@dantheclamman@scicomm.xyz @kimlockhartga@beige.party I used to have one and tested it on different tones. I am white but I have a (dark greyish after 25 years) black and white tatoo on my left wrist. When the watch moved around a bit, it would get different readings I feared, but I saw no difference. It gave the same readings as on my white right wrist.
