what accuracy have people experienced?

Can we please add this to the specifications of the product? If I am looking at purchasing this device, it is to improve the accuracy of the measurements of my mobile device. This should be one of the first specifications on the device!

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

I have no idea. I love it, but if I suspect accuracy, I simply get offand try again.

I didn't have any problem. However I sent mine back due to I didn't/don't think it gave me accurate readings.

It's pretty good. It has the same problems under tree cover and in tunnels (!), but generally it claims to be accurate within 10 feet.

It wouldn't be 100% accurate, but close. My guess is the reading would be about 25-50% low.

I have not, but none of my baking has suffered from using them so I would think that they are fairly accurate.

I have found them not to be very accurate. I returned my first unit for that reason. The second unit was not much better. There are better auto units available. I don't use it anymore in my office.

The manufacturer claims a +/- 5% accuracy. My experience is that at least 7 days is needed to obtain a meaningful average. I actually use 2-3 weeks. Variations can be expected for different periods in the year as well.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

Yes, I had no problem with it being accurate. I do a lot of country road running and I have tracked it in my car the miles are the same. :)

I doubt that it is "accurate" in terms of being calibrated to any significant extent. I just line the up the disk to where I want it and it is very close to my floor pumps reading. I just use it to finish my ride if I get a flat. If I'm within 10 psi I'm happy enough to get home.

I have not checked its accuracy against other thermometers. I do know the unit functions well and i have had no issues with it. I use it to switch on and off an incondesant light bulb that heats a small space where a control unit for a lumber kiln is. The manufacturer recommends that it not be exposed to temperatures less than 40 degrees. So right now, it is not doing anything but reading a fairly high temp and keeping the circuit open.

I've never had trouble with the accuracy of distance. Only if you ride in a very wooded and hilly area, might that ever happen. It's never happened with me and my unit. Garmin makes very high quality product.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

best way to check for accuracy is a good grade surface plate and you cant adjust them but you can calibrate it it comes with instructions how to calibrate it
