    I'd say neither. They both have their own ways of doing it, and each is more accurate under certain situations. I think whats more important is that you use the same one daily so you have a good basis for comparasion

    1000 out of how many??

    Are you wearing on the same arm?

    I wear a couple devices and normally see about 10% difference. If you're seeing more than that you may have an issue.

    Is it your dominant hand?

    That's a little bit more than 10%, but not by a lot.

    I know that one of my devices counts my nighttime tossing and turning movement more than the others... Check first thing in the morning to see what the difference is then..

    So you never get up in the night? or they don't record sleep steps?

    I usually charge them on a night.
