Yup, I considered the pixel watch for my android phone but Garmin has an advantage over it in every category while having no subscription. I would have considered an apple watch if it were compatible with android.
I think the pixel watch is doomed to fail unless they can separate from the Fitbit model and continue to improve the hardware and software.
I still wouldn't consider an apple watch over a Garmin. Apple/Google/Samsung need to get their battery life on par with Garmin.
I agree, after owning Garmin watches I wouldn't want an apple watch.
had no idea Google owned Fitbit. But looks like you don't miss out on many features by not subscribing to the Fitbit pro thing. Could be wrong. But Yea screw a Fitbit subscription.
They moved detailed sleep tracking insights under the subscription model. It's pretty disappointing.
What would be the difference (if there is one) from the detailed sleep tracking and non detailed version?
Sleep phase details, which can be useful for monitoring sleep quality over time.
I can't stand sleeping with a watch on so not getting the sub hasn't bothered me a bit.
Interesting! My smart watches are almost solely for sleep tracking and are used mostly as regular time pieces during the day.
I use my smart watch for 3 features
I don't really do any sports, but it's nice to know how many steps I took today and how far I walked. (it's between 100m-20km per day)
