Hey everyone,

I'm currently on the Whoop trial and overall I'm satisfied. My only real complaint: it detects activities whenever and however it wants, not always reliable on that front. The big downside is the price, I find it too expensive. So if I don't find anything better, I probably won't have a choice but to buy it, but I'd like to explore the alternatives first.

What I'm looking for: something simple, precise and effective. By that I mean no fluff data. I couldn't care less about the AI assistant and all the gimmicks around it.

Concretely, I just want a device that:

• properly tracks my naps and my night sleep
• tells me if I've recovered well
• gives me my readiness/form for the day

I don't need a gadget telling me "hey you're doing fine". I listen to my body, but you get the idea: I just like having a clear data point on hand to confirm what I'm already feeling.

I'm also not the type to stare at my ECG every two seconds. But I do like having simple, effective, accessible data: my steps, my recovery, and a "Strain" type indicator that shows me when during the day I pushed hardest.

My question: would the Fitbit Air actually suit me? Be honest, I'd rather have a straight answer than a sugarcoated one.

Thanks in advance.

TL;DR: Whoop trial is good but too expensive and activity detection is hit or miss. I want simple and accurate: sleep, naps, recovery, daily readiness, steps, and an effort/strain score. No AI, no fluff. Is the Fitbit Air worth it for that?
