I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it’s quite a simple device
Hard to take this review seriously if they didn’t test Polar. The gold standard of HRM and excellent Garmin competitor.
Apple Watch for me, because of how well it integrates with my phone - the point where i end up using my phone a lot less.
I don’t really bother with fitness tracking to be honest. I know in my head that I went for a 50 minute bike ride on the weekend. That’s enough for me. I do appreciate when my watch tells me if I’ve been too sedentary/etc today or reminds me that it’s late and I should probably get some sleep, but that’s about the extent of my “fitness tracking” needs.
For something with fitness tracking, I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner series for years. Recently though, I’ve been using the Pine64 PineTime as my main smartwatch. It doesn’t have much for fitness tracking, but if you’re looking for a basic smartwatch it’s pretty nice!
I used the Mi band 1S for several years, on the opposite wrist from a mechanical watch. That was a good solution.
Still use my Pebble 2 SE and my Pebble Time. Still bummed they never came out with the Time 2.
