I was working in the Fitness Industry 2005-12 during the launch of Fitbit et al. Working with performance athletes led me to engage with these products and I quickly realized the minimal usefulness. Once you get a baseline re VO2 max, HRV then it is not helpful to use the provided metrics compared to learning by feeling/listening to your body.
