I remember when you bought a Fitbit and that was it. You tracked and used the app, it recorded your data and gave it back to you. Now it's sub to Fitbit Premium to get the full data. They're basically selling you a device as a gateway to a subscription service. This is my data and they'll collect it and probably hand it over to Google so it can be added to the file of what to sell to me.

I'm all for useful subscription services but these don't seem all that useful. If I've got to subscribe why am I paying for the device?

I agree. I have no issues paying for useful subscriptions, but these wearables don't really cut it for me.

I have a Suunto smartwatch and a free Garmin from work, and I don't like wearing either to the gym.

Been flipflopping between Strava and NRC. I hate how NRC doesn't work with my Galaxy Watch 4 so I'm forced to use my Apple Watch 4 or iPod Nano with it. Settled on LoseIt for calorie tracking because Premium is way cheaper per year than MyFitnessPal. Jabra Elite 7 Active for the headphones.

I'm just not a fan of all these different ecosystems and how they try to gate you into them and get you to subscribe to a premium service so they can track and collect your data and sell it on top of your sub fee.

honestly breh I’d recommend a Garmin (Forerunner or Fenix) and push all the data to Garmin Connect and all it a day. You pay for the watch and that’s it with Garmin. fukk paying for a subscription for data the watch already recorded. The website version of Garmin Connect is detailed and the app is a great companion as well if you’re not near a computer on the regular

I use a Garmin watch every day and have the data going from Connect to Strava and then NRC. fukk a Apple Watch or a Fitbit. Those shyts are for kids and casuals who wouldn’t know what to do what the data anyway.

The Apple Watch is surprisingly accurate for calories burned. I tracked for a week using Lose It! allowing the app to sync my energy expenditure with the Apple Watch and my weight was within 0.10 of a pound of what it should have been.

The Apple Watch has been proven to have the most accurate heart rate sensor on smart watches.
