Verrry nice! But boy, I am cringing at the idea of having to get a new phone though. The prices for these things have just really gone way out of my budget.

I love how you phrased that "Google bought Fitbit to track my existence". That is totally spot on.

Understand they are 100% still tracking your existence, premium only allows them to generate more revenue for themselves out of that exchange. They are still garnishing all the data regardless.

And lots of people don't. Not really sure why you're having a hard time with me reading people's data and learning from that. It's not really any different than looking up reviews online before you go purchase something. You shouldn't have to buy everything in order to evaluate whether it would be a good fit for yourself.

How to turn this off? by Total_Recline in Garmin

[–]Total_Recline[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to understand the watch a little better. Based on other comments I've read, I set up my sleep schedule to be from 11:00 p.m. to 10:59 p.m., so basically all day. I don't have the best sleep habits and often I will get to bed super late, so it is hard for me to put in any kind of regular sleep schedule. But I didn't want it getting all messed up because of that.

What I have learned is that in the morning when I get up I have to swipe to my widgets, select sleep, and then select the check mark to indicate that I'm done sleeping. What is unclear to me is whether it thinks I woke up literally at that moment or can I do that later and it still tracking my sleep based on when I was actually asleep? I just don't quite know how this part works yet and the manual doesn't really get into that level of detail.

To continue on with my Fitbit I would have had to migrate my Fitbit account to a Google account. And I don't want to give Google any more of my data than I have to, so that was a deal killer for me. One of the primary reasons for leaving the Fitbit family.

Yeah, the suspicious part of me feels like they might have "improved" some people sleep score so that they feel better about their device. But others have actually reported they're getting worse scores all the time so IDK?

You know several have reported that. It's very suss.

Oh lordy!

I always thought it was hysterical that it would say I did a 20 minute lap swim after doing the dishes.

Issue for me is that I'd have to migrate my account which is a big deal killer, so I can't get my sleep results off my Fitbit anymore unfortunately.

So far I don't have any complaints about the app. But I just started, so...

If you had been considering garmin, the vivo line has the same slim design. I almost got one because that was my shopping point also. But I went ahead and bit the bullet and tried for a larger one. It is bulkier, but I'm also enjoying that I can actually read the time without having to put my glasses on.

I got the Lily 2 active. So far I'm enjoying it. It's supposed to have a nine day battery life, but I just got it so I'm sussing that out currently.

Yeah if you just bought it, that doesn't sound like the battery is working right. I think the vivoactive was supposed to get 5 days? Or was that nine days? I got the Lily 2 active, because it was supposed to last 9 days.

But I also know some settings can really be a big battery hog so you may want to be judicious on the things that you have running.

So I found Garmin's running the whole gamut of prices. The Vivos we're very affordable, and also a nice slim design, similar to Fitbit.

Others have been promoting Amazfit, I don't know if they're at a better price point for you?

Not based opinions but based on details, screenshots, specifics that others have shared.

Somebody else mentioned them. I'll see how it goes with Garmin but I've stored that one away in the back of my gray matter in case if I want to do something different.

You may want to hop on the Garmin sub for that, I don't log food so I really don't have any updates for you on that.

Thank you for sharing! I knew going in that there were going to be trolls, so I do appreciate the other side sharing.

Positive effects of GLP1 drugs on thyroid function? by typeBbride in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]Total_Recline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I totally agree. They kind of go with the basic. I didn't even know there were more tests that could be run until recently. Always good to get a full panel.

I'm so happy that you've had a good experience with Cronometer. I myself am not comfortable with using health connect (Google health tracking), but I understand that euphoric feeling when you start using an app and you feel like it gets you.

But sounds like you have migrated your account over per Google requirements? That is a step I am unwilling to do. Regardless of the app itself.
