It also underestimates non-step activities like cycling, rowing, yoga, etc. Where Fitbit always underestimates lower than my heart rate monitor: any type of resistance training such as weight lifting, kettlebells, bodyweight strength exercises like pushups and burpees, resistance bands, pilates, etc. Some of this will vary, I think I seem to be in a sweet spot concerning any assumptions Fitbit makes about exertion based on speed of movement and my heart rate really doesn't get that high compared to some other people even when I am very clearly at higher levels of exertion (based on physical signs like breathing heavy, red in the face, sweaty, tired muscles, etc). I've found in my case, my Fitbit One (formerly my Ultra) and Heart rate monitor either agree or are very close for the following activities: brisk walking on flat or slightly hilly routes jogging intervals of brisk walking and jogging cardio kickboxing and cardio boxing workouts like Turbojam/Turbokick and others step based dance aerobics involving traveling steps, larger movements and hops jumping rope cardio/athletic drills such as jumping jacks, football runs/fast feet, and "buttkickers", start jumps, etc. I calibrate my fitbit stride for walking and running-this probably doesn't effect the calorie burn too much but it does effect the pace/distance stats and that makes it easier to compare the fitbit data to other sources if you your fitbit estimated distance and speed are fairly accurate. I have the settings in both devices as accurate as possible including some of the more obscure settings. I actually had a heart rate monitor before I got a fitbit so I always wore both during exercise over the past three years.
My Fitbit calorie burn seems pretty accurate for certain activities.
