Do you find BodyMedia Fit to be accurate?

I decided to pull my BMF out a couple weeks ago and start wearing it again. Not sure whether to trust the calorie burn, or not.

    I've been wearing mine a year and I'm still not sure how accurate it is :laugh:

    Don't get me wrong, I like having all the data but since they changed the algorithim a little while ago and the readings are so different between the display device and the online activity manager, I am less sure of its accuracy than I was before.

    Thank you. I had heard about the algorithm change and wondered about that. I looked back to what I was burning before (I was on a break during the change) and my averages were roughly the same. Still, not sure if I can trust that I'm burning that much. :)
