@pro.strongman.shane: The Hume band 2.0 is absolutely insane #Fitness #fitnessband #hume

WDS68 :

Inaccurate Tracking and Metrics • Body Composition & Weight: Users and reviewers report that the Hume Body Pod scale gives wildly unrealistic body fat percentages (e.g., reporting 42% body fat when independent calipers measure 28%) or massive errors in recorded weight (such as being off by 30 lbs). • Sleep Tracking: Scientific and technical reviews note that sleep-stage tracking has very low accuracy and agreement compared to reference devices (showing roughly 35%–50% agreement for deep, light, and REM sleep). • Heart Rate & Fitness Data: The Hume Band has been criticized for erratic heart rate readings (such as false spikes or missing high-intensity peaks), poor active calorie calculation, and inconsistent step counts. • Inconsistent Health Scoring: Users report that the app's grading system gives contradictory or nonsensical feedback (such as an "F" for activity alongside an "A+" for cardiovascular health despite heavy working out). 2. Billing, Subscriptions, and Hidden Costs • Paid Tier Requirements: Essential tracking features—such as deep sleep and superior analytics—require a paid subscription ("Hume Plus"), which many buyers feel is a hidden extra cost. • Subscription & Cancellation Issues: Customers on forums like Reddit state that free trials or orders bill immediately on day one, and users on social media describe canceling subscriptions or getting refunds as "virtually impossible". • Unexpected Extra Items: Some buyers claim extra devices or pods were deceptively bundled into their initial orders. 3. Customer Support and Return Difficulties • Unresponsive Support: A frequent complaint across Trustpilot and user communities is slow, generic, or completely non-existent customer service. • Refund Delays: Many customers report unfulfilled refund promises, forcing them to dispute charges through their credit card companies. 4. App and Hardware Bugs • Connectivity & Syncing: Users frequently mention Bluetooth dropouts, scales or bands failing to sync, and the necessity to step on scales or reconnect bands multiple times to get a reading to stick. • Limited App Functionality: Reviewers find the companion app unintuitive, lacking historical data viewa
