So it looks like my FitBit premium subscription either expired or google changed the terms. Either way, $80 a year might be more than I wanna pay if I can avoid it. Anyone have any experience with other health trackers for their watch? I have a Google Pixel Watch 2 and it's been great, but if I don't have access to the extrA data, what's the point?
I just got the new Pixel 10 Pro XL. Part of the deal includes $200 in Google store credit and since I'm a Pixel Superfan, whatever the hell that is, I just got a 20% off coupon code that doesn't expire for 12 mos. Thinking of getting a Pixel watch or a Pixel tablet this next Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I'm very interested in what you think of the Google Pixel Watch and if you're going to be upgrading soon.
I like it for sure, but a lot of that was because of the Fitbit tracking that came with it. Apparently it's free for the first six months, but I feel like I had it a lot longer. Either way, it gives you a pretty cool weekly breakdown of your metrics, i.e. steps, floors, sleep, heart points, etc. I think it's probably the best way to use the $200. I'm not a big tablet guy though. The pixel buds aren't any better than a mid tier Samsung or some other option. If your dad gets a credit too he should definitely get a watch, just for the fall sensor.
Fwiw, my old Samsung watch 4 is still going strong, I replaced the band at some point, but it still does what I want it. It certainly helped me get in better shape, as I said. I try to get into the highest heart rate zone for at least 5 minutes every morning (I exercise for about an hour a day), as I got stronger even running uphill didn't get me there, so I got a weighted vest and I do my morning walk and run with it, once again getting the right distribution of heart rate, and I sure feel a lot stronger.
Still rocking the Apple Series 3 but can tell the battery life is lacking after 4+ years of everyday use. Since I'm still using the iPhone as well, figure I'll stick with them but is it worth it to upgrade to the 10 or 11? I've read the sleep functions are really nice and the 10 made a big advance in tracking golf swings, which is pretty appealing. Anyone upgrade from the 3 and was it worth it?
Either will be a big upgrade to you; I'd buy the 11 and enjoy the better battery life vs the 10. If you use your watch for years, then it's best to buy the best now and let it age gracefully.
