To maintain a good fitness level, performing minimum daily physical activity is important. Many people think that they have already met the suggested guidelines. However, most of them were wrong when quantify their level using personal tracker device. This problem indicates need for or wearable device to level. as wide-range devices available today, it difficult find suitable one regarding price and quality. paper proposes study explore association between quality devices. The evaluated by comparing accuracy heart rate sensor step counter several with ground truth measurements. test result then analyzed series statistical methods including, paired t-test, Pearson's correlation test, Bland-Altman plot. Both t-test coefficient used plot price.
