Summary

A person bought a second-hand Garmin 3s for $40 on eBay to help with pacing, and found the body battery graph reliable and the heart rate data accurate. They called the SP02 readings very unreliable and warned against cheap no-name trackers with fake sensors. Nothing was reported about the course of their illness or their level of function.
