I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

My apple watch. So much on that watch either doesn't work as it should or I was straight lied to by an apple employee of how it worked. Will never buy one again.

Mine is five years old and I haven’t missed wearing it for a day. There are so many little features that I like (controlling my HomeKit home, finding my phone, playing my music with AirPods on a run, heart rate alerts, taking calls) and I’ll replace it when it’s gone, but I have a hard time recommending to anyone at that price point. I can’t get over that I need to buy a third party app to see my step count and it doesn’t even sync regularly.

Built-in step count is in the activity app! Just keep scrolling, it’s after the stand hours. Noticed it the other day, I think it’s easy to overlook.

Thank you for the response, but that’s the thing, I don’t want to scroll. Steps are a basic function and they should be available on the watch face.

Ooooh that makes sense! I totally agree with you on that, I would much rather have it at a glance.
