Comment on Google Fitbit Air launches with no screen and a big AI health push by Anonymous

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.

In reply to Anonymous. These specs are not 100% confirmed yet. I'd wait for the official release to confirm the final features.

if this is dual band gps it would be a barnstormer for the price, and if it can be paired to third party heart rate monitors like the amazfit core !

Comment on Suunto Core 2 FCC filing points to a proper outdoor watch revival by Alpha

This is a survival watch. Not a fitness tracker!
In my opinion, it has now everything you need. And the fact that you can replace the battery at home or outdoors without compromising its water resistance is brilliant—and still unique in the world of watches!!!
