I have been using a fitbit HR for a few months now. I was wondering if anyone else is using a fitbit and is it close to being accurate with your calories burned?

    All depends on the level of accuracy you are expecting. Personally, I would reduce the calories burned by 15% and record that amount. Always better to be conservative.

    Wrist measurements for heart rate are not as accurate as chest straps, but even more important is the making sure the data you enter is always accurate. As your weight changes, so does your caloric burn calculation.
