I’ve been writing about fitness trackers for a decade — 10 years later, they're still falling short for women
🙋♀️ Raise your hand if your fitness tracker’s readiness score felt off during your cycle. As someone who’s covered these devices for a decade, I’ve seen progress—Fitbit added period tracking in 2018, Apple/Garmin followed, and Oura even detected my 2023 pregnancy early. But gaps remain: core metrics (HRV, readiness scores) are benchmarked on male physiology, ignoring our 28-35 day hormone cycles that shift sleep, heart rate, and workout capacity. Most only predict ovulation, not guide daily choices, and don’t link symptoms to health scores. Share your tracker fails below!
