One woman recently experienced the avenging power of Fitbit after inadvertently using the fitness tracker to expose her cheating boyfriend.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">An Ex Boyfriend once got me a Fitbit for Christmas. I loved it. We synched up, motivated each other&#8230; didn\u2019t hate it until he was unaccounted for at 4am and his physical activity levels were spiking on the app ?wish the story wasn\u2019t real. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/npRkLJYYz0\">https:\/\/t.co\/npRkLJYYz0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jane Slater (@SlaterNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SlaterNFL\/status\/1202464912120975363?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 5, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>NFL report Jane Slater recently tweeted her personal <em>Black Mirror<\/em>-esque experience where new technology intersected with old issues of male infidelity. The now former couple had purchased each other Fitbits for Christmas as mutual motivation to stay in shape. So they were expected to check on each other\u2019s results. This story was in response to the controversial Peloton ad, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>However, Slater eventually noticed a very suspicious spike in her ex-boyfriend\u2019s physical activity on a random night at 4 AM that wasn\u2019t the kind of exercise she was expecting. If your first thought was \u201cOh of course his heart rate rose because he\u2019s having sex because he\u2019s cheating on you\u201d then congratulations because that\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n<p>Now there are plenty of reasons for Fitbit to record strange activity at night that has nothing to do with being a cheating bastard. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/woman-caught-boyfriend-cheating-fitbit-fitness-tracker-sex-2019-12\"  rel=\"noopener\">Insider<\/a> reports, sleepwalking or bad dreams could also be the culprit. However, based on replies to Slater\u2019s story, Fitbit-based cheating fiascos are unsurprisingly, unfortunately common.<\/p>\n<p>For a faithful Fitbit of your own, our picks include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/geek-pick-fitbit-charge-3-makes-it-easy-to-track-health-stats-1777828\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Fitbit Charge 3<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/geek-pick-fitbit-versa-lite-is-the-ultimate-intro-to-smartwatches-1787836\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Fitbit Versa Lite<\/a>.
