I find the tech really cool, especially it being so thin. It’s also not that expensive.

Buuuut it’s google so I fear this thing is a privacy nightmare.

    I would look at Garmin. The cirqa has the same aesthetics, and it looks like the fitbit air has a subscription for some functionality. While the Garmin is more expensive, everything else is included.

    I prefer the built in GPS for running so I don’t have to take my phone with me. Maybe you’d like the vivo active or lily 2?

        Oh right. The larger point being anything from Garmin is probably better than anything else on the market. Theyll last years with no additional fees, and they apparently dont sell any of your data. Anything with them is opt in, and all part of why the devices seem so expensive. Seems they aren’t making money on shady business practices.

          I’ve seen the garmin one. The thing is, it’s thicker than this one, which is what I really liked about the Fitbit Air. Yea, it is garmin, that’s of course true. Right now, I wear an apple watch most of the time, but I would like a more discreet tracker that just is as small and lightweight and invisible as the fitbit happens to be
