I am the target market for this. I love the data and the tracking, but I absolutely do not want another screen on my wrist. I lead an organization and I get too many notifications as it is, even with actively managing them. I need to be able to only see notifications when I intentionally want to, which is where a product like this helps me.

In reply to Anonymous. Agree 100%. I want a watch with extras, not a band that I still have to wear a watch with - we don’t all have our phones with us 24/7 and I need to be able to see the time if I can’t have my phone with me.

I agree with you. I would like the info available to see. I have a heart condition, and like to see my pulse at all times without going to an app. That is very important to me and my doctor. I need to see what is happening with my pulse if I experience symptoms, and it is so easy for me now. I would like more info posted on the watch; possibly temperature, blood pressure, and current oxygen level. Some of the cheaper watches have that, so I do not see why google watches don’t have that now. I like the premium programs, and hope they continue with them.

In reply to Anonymous. Agreed- are there any new advances in the sensors? Or is it the same thing sans screen? I like the alarm function

Whilst I can understand some people want the supposed simplicity, I like the simplicity of having a Fitbit that can show me the time, number of steps and battery remaining without having to use a mobile app.
