    I had a polar which I wore around my chest while exercising but didn't wear it all day as I do with my Fitbit so I can't really say which is more accurate sorry

    Anything with a dedicated chest strap will be most accurate.

    That said, HR monitors are only for steady state cardio. I don't know what you are using it for, but if it's not steady state cardio, odds are it's already drastically overestimating.
