I love this guy and this quote hit it perfectly.
"I don't want a dumb phone on my wrist I want a better watch."
He has a youtube channel! ua-cam.com/users/ShankMods
It’s a good sounding quote, but what the hell does that even mean?
@@whewmancool It means that they are trying to make smart watches too close to phones and sacrificing the base functionality and ease of use. There are many features that are unused by lots of people that just reduce the smart watches battery life.
In essence, tack on features that improve your use and nothing more. Don't overload it at the sacrifice of everything else. Not everything has to have every single feature
Linus might actually just be looking for something like a Garmin Instinct Solar. Tells time, does notifications, battery lasts nearly a month or more with GPS disabled or could leave it in the sun to charge too, all other tracking things can be disabled as needed, and notifications can be filtered by apps.
I have tried 3 different brands of smart watch. I just don't use all the smart watch features. I keep coming back to Garmin. The easy to read display in the sunlight, quick notifications, lack of animations, and excellent battery life.
I have been using the VA4 since day one and have been satisfied with it the whole time. That is a rarity for me.
Yeah, Garmins are certainly... middling when it comes to 'smart' in smart watch. But that's the good part, it's a watch that works really well as a watch, and it does the majority of the non-annoying smart features, and then you tack on battery life measured in weeks. I think that makes a great watch in this context.
Well damn that actually looks like a really compelling smart watch, I love my Galaxy Watch 4 but damn the battery doesn't last long.
I VERY nearly pulled the trigger on one of these this last black Friday. I think I just couldn't get over the price and the fact that it doesn't have an ECG sensor, which is one of the biggest reasons I want a smart watch for... reasons.
I use a garmin forerunner 945, and it works great. I think it gets about 8-10 days of battery (with heavy exercise). It’s not a super fancy UI, but for my needs (swim, bike, run, and everyday watch) it works great. Sometimes the GPS can have trouble at the beginning of an activity but in general it’s a solid experience.
Garmin Instinct Solar
Battery: 10 to 80 days (depending on mode and usage)
Features: Ox saturation, heart rate, steps, alt/ baro/ compass, GPS, notifications (weather, music control, texts, calls, sunset/rise, alarms), fitness tracking.
It's a watch first, and an "everything else" second... just as it should be. Works well without ever connecting to a phone.
The day that Pebble got bought out by Fitbit, I felt like I lost a close friend. I loved those watches so much - I had three of them, and my wife had two.
To be clear, it didn't get bought out. It went bankrupt first and then Fitbit bought some of the assets. There's an unfortunate difference :(
Fitbit buying it was actually a saving grace since it made your watch last longer. That gave Rebble time to exist and everything is mostly ok, we just don't get new watches :(
@@bhume7535 The Pebble Time 2 never launched sadly, I would have loved this watch!
Old comment but I just learned the Pebbles still work!!! There's a community project called "Rebble". My old Pebble Time is back on wrist after years of drawer life
Garmin makes watches like that. My Forerunner 935 has a week of battery life while measuring my heart rate once a minute, a refractive always on display (4bit color or sth), button controls instead of touch, displays notifications, music control. It's more of a watch than a smartphone and I love it.
Being a happy Garmin Fenix owner, I share your sentiment. Garmin seems to understand that a smart watch should principally be watch that speaks to, and extends your phone's capabilities when you're active, instead of being a secondary wrist-mounted smart phone that can also serve as a watch.
How about a hybrid smart watch? I have a fossil hybrid HR and it has an analogue watch face with a paper display behind that does notifications as well as health tracking. Imo it's a lot better than a mini phone on the wrist
I will second this. I have my fossil hr and its just what i want. Its a watch first, which is what need, it has weeks of battery and it gives me the notifications i want
The button controls are also great for doing things like pausing music when you have gloves on.
He may not like having an analogue watchface. I have a hybrid HR too and I liked it, but I do wish it just had the time digitally displayed
Was about to comment the same thing. Been using mine for about 2 years at this point and it’s great.
I don't want the smartest watch, I'd be happier with "pretty clever".
I’ll always be bummed I never got my Pebble Time 2. What a bummer to get bought out during the fulfillment period of the kickstarter & get folded into Fitbit.
The Amazfit and many others actually last for at least one week. Plus, hybrid watches also exist. There's no perfect combination, but hey, now there're more choices than ever
I came here to say this. Nothing can beat Pebble but I have the Amazfit GTS 2e and its a very solid second place.
My original bip from 2018 still lasts for over 3 weeks and it's always on display
Oh yeah, my GTR's battery lasts for a month. I can check the time and get notifications so I'm happy.
Biggest problem is that every company has their own app and it is very hard to Export useful info, HR rate is most difficult.
Right now in Tests Apple watch is the closest to HR Monitors like Polar H10.
I've been using a Garmin vivomove style for a year and I love it. Tells the time with physical hands and has an OLED display under the face for everything else
I use an Amazfit Bip S, has a transflective LCD screen meaning it's readable without a wrist flick as long as some light is around. The screen isn't nearly as vibrant as an OLED, but that's fine for me. Has a backlight for when there isn't light, just like the hold Timex watches. Just does notifications, controls music, and can fitness track if you want. Battery lasts weeks, they advertise 40 days and I easily ready 20 days with some GPS use.
I have the original bip, there js literally no lighting condition that renders the screen unreadable, it's remarkable and yeah the battery life is insane, even after almost 3.5 years of use
This. Mine is awesome but none of the tech tubers take it seriously because it's not made of metal
couldn't agree more, been running the bip for years, have got others but always go back to the bip, where else can we get always on display, notifications and a month of battery...seriously if there is anything else let me know
I liked my BIP quite a bit....until the screen popped out of the body for no reason lmao. Haven't worn a wearable since (waiting for pixel watch maybe idk)
Interesting, my series 7 actually does a pretty good job at predicting what I’m doing. If I ever need to actually track a workout, I always use a polar HR monitor that pairs with the Apple Watch. IMO nothing beats live HR monitoring than a chest strap, but that’s totally too extra for vast majority of people 😂
would love to see a shootout between the simpler smartwatches', not everyone wants a mini-computer and just want basic notifications, music control etc and don't want to have to charge it every day
I hope they include the PineTime, it’s inexpensive and the firmware is almost finalized.
Simple smart watches like Amazfit have decent battery life with good prices, could not be arsed with charging a bloody watch every day.
Can Linus do a review of the oura 3? I’d love his thoughts on the subscription model/overall cost
You should really try to make that project regarding testing smart health products happen! I've DESPERATELY wanted someone to tackle this for yeaaaaars!
Oh man, it's so hype to hear that Linus is going to be trying Pebbles again. Couldn't agree more with the topics brought up here
Having just bought a Pebble Steel and I've been using it all day I gotta say its fantastic. Pixelminer is a fun distraction and the notifications are actually convenient.
Only downside is my battery only seems to last 2 days, but that is still better than my Gear s2 which literally doesn't even stay on anymore.
If you guys make an affordable smart watch that does the basic things, I'll buy it. I'd support a Kickstarter even if you go that route
That would be really cool for them to do but seeing how long and how much money it cost them to just make a screwdriver this will never happen lol
Bip/bip lite?
Doesn't Xiaomi make the Mi Band? It's a great option, used it for a long time.
On my fourth pebble currently (Now a Time after having a 2 rot away it's buttons). Actually got one back in 2012 before I had a smartphone that would work with it. Backed the Time 2 before the FitBit acquisition...Such a shame...
The Garmin Fenix 3 HR has been my first and only smart watch. It's now 3 years old, still lasts close to 10 days per charge when all the bell and whistles are turned on; bluetooth for phone notifications, heart rate monitor, resting heart rate tracking, step counter, altimeter, compass, and an always on display. While I could easily purchase the newest and greatest edition of the watch for $450 at Costco, I honestly don't see the need as Garmin designed the perfect wrist mounted tank. Whenever it dies, I'll have no qualms about getting a new one.
The Apple Watch isn't even in the running compared to the Garmin.
That's what I was think, I don't have one but my dad's does and he still loves it, and if you get a newer one you can get up to close to a month.
@@ewangudgeon6913 1 month of battery life on a smart watch is truly outstanding. Now that device can really be considered a health tracker as you barely even have to take it off, unlike the Apple Watch, which you practically can't wear to bed if you used hike tracking during the day.
I have a PineTime, and it's great for my needs. It's open source and community driven, supports notifications and not much else, and is really cheap (like anything else from Pine64, really). The band it comes with isn't really all that good, but it's tolerable, and it's a standard 20mm band which can be replaced cheaply with just about any other 20mm band, including really nice magnetic ones. Also, the battery lasts multiple days.
Still sad the Pebble Time 2 never released, but props to Pebble for refunding all the backers before going under.
Maybe try the Amazfit Bip S. It has long battery life and the screen is transflective, so it's always on and the more light it receives the more you see it.
I had the original Bip and it was good. The Bip S has a few more things which make it better, and it's newer.
Same here. The original Bip wasn't officially waterproof, and although it survived being submersed for a long time, eventually it gave out. The Bip S is waterproof and is stellar.
@@repatch43 Yeah, I went into the pool with it and everything, it's still running great but I don't use it anymore.
Still running my Pebble 2, tried a few Android wear watches and I still think e-ink is the display tech for them. That I still can't get something that matches the UX of a Pebble is insane.
Garmin vivoactive 3/4 does all of this. Over 7 days, always on screen including heart tracking, all notifications, NFC google pay.
It's not Android or Apple Wear but it does nearly everything they do with the benefit of a long battery life. Can't recommend enough.
I have a Fenix 5 and my fiance has a Vivoactive 4 and we love them. Plus I like the Garmin app's layout and look.
@@qcdsticks I've been using smartwatches since they came out, sony smartwatch, Huawei smartwatch (android). Although I like Android Wear, charging it every night along with my phone is a deal breaker. Especially if you want to track your sleep. Apple iWatch is the same situation.
I have every one of my friends converted who own iWatches & Fitbits to Garmin.
That video concept mentioned towards the beginnings, I think that'd be really neat and might be worth revisiting.
I'm quiet happy with my Withings Scanwatch. It doesn't offer huge amounts of smart features, but the battery lasts for like a month and it just looks like a nice watch.
I’ll second that.
Analog clock with actual mechanical hands that show the time. It has a small round screen at the top part of the dial that can be used to navigate the options on the clock. It has smart tracking in the form of Steps, Heartrate, Irregular heartbeat detection, ECG, SpO2, and Sleep tracking with breathing disturbance detection so it can detect if you have sleep apnea.
It is also have activity tracking and basic notifications like who is calling. All this while looking like a normal clock and it got a battery that can last for weeks.
I really like this clock:)
Maybe it´s old, but i got an Amazfit bip S, it does all i need. Tell the time, can change the music while driving without actually see the watch, and recieve wpp notifications. I can see the screen in all ways since is TFT, and from 19 to 2am is setted the backlight. With a Casio-like watchface is pretty nice. The best part is the more than 30 days of battery, anyway I ended charging it at 15 or 20 days since i got the charger close to the PC.
MiBand 5 is pretty good, 7 day battery and does everything I actually need a smartwatch for. (Time/Date, Notifications, Timer and music control)
Too bad the basic functions are hidden behind an awful app that requires an account for datamining.
Music control is great, notifications cant be read but it works.
I would recommend the barebones Bip over this.
A Pebble with Rebble installed does that for 50 bucks or less.
@@MiGujack3 that's why other more "open" apps got made although most require a one time subscription for "pro" features
I have a first gen Wifi (no LTE) Samsung Galaxy Watch and I still love it! I did have to replace the battery (under warranty so it's like 2 years old now). I still get 5-6 days of battery. The only issue i've had with it is when i ride my motorcycle it would pick it up as me walking
It would be awesome if you guys try and do the tracker comparison again, maybe find a partner who won’t go wonky. I personally like my Apple Watch Series 7, but it would be interesting to learn about the accuracy of the sensors, and look at other watches that could suit me, even if just to stay educated and look around.
My old Garmin watch basically does this, it's one of the older models which lasts ages but does notifications and always on time well.
Literally just pulled out my Pebble Time out last weekend. Haven't charged it yet, still going strong.
I still use my relatively ancient Samsung Gear 2 (not the S2, the older square one). The band gave out and has been replaced with a velcro band salvaged from an old Timex sports watch (less than ideal, but it works; the original Gear 2 band is my favorite watch band I've ever used), and I have to get creative to charge it because the watch body is chipped right where the charging doodad clips on, but it's still hanging in there. I like this thing so much I've been wanting to get another one from Ebay, as close to new-in-box as possible; just haven't managed to set aside the money for that so far.
I had a Gear S2 and moved to the Gear S3 and I love them.
I personally hate the square shape of apple watches and such. They just don't feel comfortable with where they sit since I have a very boney wrist
If you do upgrade just avoid the Active series those are dog shit from the experience my parents have had
All I want from a smart watch is this: a few good watch faces, screen that stays on, long battey life (30 days), alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer and maybe hourly chime / beep. I do not need any health tracking / sensors and definitely no notifications. And the watch should run without any application supporting it on my phone. All this makes it better for me to go for a traditional watch instead of smart watch.
I had an original pebble, even before I had a cell phone. Eventually broke it swimming, but I loved that thing so much. It was ugly, and chunky, but this was YEARS before the original Apple Watch came out. I’m on my third Apple Watch now, but the pebble will always have a place in my heart. I was super sad when they were bought out, and seeing what Fitbit has done with them since, I was pretty justified in that.
Look at Withings products, like Scanwatch, has 2-4 weeks of battery life (depends on how much you let it scan actively a sport session). Is like a normal watch, small screen, non intrusive.
My pebble time steel is my favorite smartwatch. It only lacks the health monitoring. I was so excited for a Pebble Time Steel 2 but they had to go sell the business... :(
Have you looked at Garmin watches?
I never understand the move of Fitbit, buying Pebble to let it die ?? I´m sure if Fitbit brings a "pebbleish" watch, it sells like hot bread !
Fitbit technically didn't buy Pebble. IIRC, Pebble just sold their software IP to Fitbit with the condition that they keep the servers running for a while and hire a chunk of Pebble's staff. The company itself, along with the brand and hardware side of things, went into bankruptcy. So essentially what happened was Fitbit wanted some talent and assets to help make there fitness trackers more "smartwatchy" to compete with Apple.
I still constantly go back to my Pebble Time. it only lasts like 2 and a half days on batter but its still the most rock solid watch. My Huawei Watch 1 is also pretty solid since its stuck on an older Wear OS and still runs decent and lasts through the work day. All the newer Wear OS watches are trash at battery life and speed.
Swapped my Pebble Time when it was starting to only hit 3 days of battery life for a Hybrid HR. Easily found on sale for 100 bucks, maybe even 50 bucks refurbished if you're lucky. Less features, but looks better IMO. Has alarms, stopwatch, and buzzes to show me notifications that come in. Lasts almost two weeks too. For the price I've been very happy with what it provides.
I'd like them to do that health monitor experiment. But, I need the two subjects to be Linus and Anthony. Compare if it's more or less accurate depending on body type.
Try to use the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 that you reviewed, it actually is good at tracking what you do.
I still love my Pebble! I really like the time round.
oh man im still wearing my pebble steel. it's literally everythingn i would ever want in a smartwatch. mine started wearing out so i even bought a refurbished one off of a person on ebay. nothing even comes close. and it's a fucking nice watch.
well, I'm pretty happy with my Amasfit Bip S. Always On Display, shows notifications, shows wheather reports, shows reminders, and has a battery life of 27 days
I'm just using a fitbit inspire 2.
Its a simple device, but it works well for me.
2 weeks battery life. Tells time, can do alarms and timers, tracks my heart rate and accurately tracks my sleep (I have sleep issues). It tends to overcount steps when I'm not doing much, but it's not too bad.
The thing that I'm upset about is the crazy subscription cost for fitbit premium, which I rely on to view the details of my sleep habits.
My free year is up this week, and I'm not sure whether to just go without premium, give in and pay for it, or find another watch that doesn't have a crazy expensive subscription ($80/year for sleep tracking seems extortionate).
I would love to see you review some of the fitness watches from polar and garmin. Especially the garmin venu 2 plus that has more smart features than most, has a good battery and great fitness tracking
the xiaomi mi band 6 is what I use, the battery lasts about 5-6 days, notifications and tons of features to monitor health and activity
"Oh this was when I woke up in the middle of the night so there was some physical exertion" 🤔
What y'all need to look into and maybe do a review on, is the Wyze Watch 47c. Have had this for a while, after multiple iterations of Samsung smartwatches and even Apple Watch, and I like it so much better. All of the previous watches barely lasted a day. Wyze watch requires me to charge it once a week! it does notifications well, has health tracking, but is not intrusive, and is really nice for the price ($29).
Who's that guy?
4:23 I think its using GPS to track when you are exercising or something with your heart rate
Why does everyone ignore the Amazefit Bip? It has all the fitness tracking features and up to a month of battery life.
If you want a smart watch with multi day battery life and does basic things like weather, fitness, custom clocks, text and call notifications, and other things, i recommend a fitbit (versa series)
smart watches that have galleries, now that helps you a lot with your exams
Worth mentioning is that you will need to load up rebble but yeah I'm still using a pebble time.
2 days ago the adhesive on the crystal failed though, although super gluing it it's all back to being water resistant.
I would love to see this video or data sheet. I've been trying to find something for my mom. She has a bit of health issues and to have something to monitor it so she could be on top of it would be nice. But the big thing is finding something on the market that won't break the bank to hard.
I don't do smart watches anymore my issues were battery time, compatibility and actually doing what I need it to do. The number one thing was all the proprietary bases. Every time I find one, I have to look for a base.
One of my smart watches would literally die out during the day. And I can't charge it, cause it's at home. A charger for my fitbit actually got stolen out of my luggage that unfortunately had to be checked in.
You should check out the Fossil Hybrid line, they're basically Pebbles with an analog face over the top of the e-ink. Battery can last 2 weeks.
Honestly check out the Huawei GT2 or GT3. 7 Day battery, notifications, calls, weather, support for gps and google maps integration. Comes with all the heart rate/SpO2/fitness tracking stuff if you need it, otherwise it's as simple as you want. I really rate the sleep tracking.
Weirdest quirk is it comes with built in music storage so you can load your songs and play off of it, but pretty good nonetheless.
I enjoy my Garmin Instinct Solar, 32 day battery life with the recent update, and it can charge on solar, that's in the "smart watch" mode, but you can put it into watch mode and get indefinite battery as long as you get three hours of sun every so often. plus the smart watch stuff they added to it makes sense as well
Garmin has watches with solar panels under the display. They can last a month or more depending on usage.
Just try a Garmin wearable...good hr statistics and great gps even when skiing, mountain biking etc...
So I've been using a Garmin Fenix 5 sapphire WiFi for 2yrs now and it's awesome to see so many people loving their Garmin watches. Only reason I'm surprised about it is that it's hard to find like forum posts on them or just regular reviews about them. And I have to agree with most of the comments great battery life. Lots of apps, Spotify without needing your phone, Garmin pay which from what I last saw can be used where Google pay is accepted (not 100% don't quote me) and looks even better in the sun unlike most displays where you can't read them. Accurate heart rate, pulse OX, altitude, and step counter. Among countless features.
I have the same feelings about watches and I've been loving my ticwatch Pro 3. The time is always there and has a battery life of about 4 days or over 30 days in essential mode. It also is going to get the latest Wear OS update.
I really liked my pebble. The display went bad though. :(
I dont understand how under reporting someones health can cause them to over-exert themselves. Isnt the whole aerobic exercise designed to do in a way comfortable to you. Who in their right mind would constantly try to maintain a particular level while exercising. The health gadgets is supposed to give you live checks when you feel exhausted or over-exerting yourselves, not the other way around.
Amazfit do great simple smart watches with days and days of battery life, especially if you turn features off you don't want. I use the Amazfit Bip and have done for years.
I bought my galaxy watch 46mm 3 years ago and it still feels and looks like day one. It has no scratches (I was in the military back when I bought it, so it got used) and the battery still lasts over 2 days (I'm doing sports almoast every day). For me this is just the perfect watch
I'm still using my Pebble Time Steel and I agree with everything said in this video. I don't want a dumbed down smartphone, I want a better watch. I've tried Amazfit and Samsung, but nothing is as good as my Pebble.
ive only really used and have had an apple watch SE. i have no problems with it and works for the most part how i want it to. theres a few things i want. like to be able to tell my battery status device wide like you can on the iphone widget. other then that it displays the time, shows me notifications and controls spotify
It'd be cool to see Linus review the Xiaomi Mi band 7 when it releases, the 6 already has more than 10 day battery life and a pretty good screen, plus all the fitness features can be disabled for the most battery life.
To be fair about the stand notification on Apple Watch, there is a logic to it. From what I've seen (depending on the hour limit you put on the watch) it requires at least a minute of standing per hour. I have mine set to 12 hours. That doesn't mean I'm standing for 12 hours, it means I'm going to stand for a minute each hour. If I stand for an hour, 60 minutes, it is not going to close my stand ring because it wants to spread out the requirement through the day. Now, it gives the notifications at really weird times and it can be easily fooled; i.e. if I get the notification and just raise my arm above my head it will think I've stood up and if I hold it for a minute it will count it. It is not perfect by any means but once I realized how it was judging my standing, the system made more sense and help me use it more.
I have the Polar Vantage V Titan and absolutely adore it, gorgeous build quality, it is a training watch first tho
Can you do an update after you've used the pebble again for a while please?
If you want an AMODEL, than the Garmin Instinct Solar is the choice. If that one is too big, than a regular Venu 2/2s will be a better fit. Both boast 10 days battery life minimum
Connectivity will probably be a bit of a problem, but I look forward to trying the Casio GDB-100 I will get soon.
It has an always on display and apparently can last 12-24 months on the battery while receiving notifications.
But it seems very limited, only storing up to 10 messages of max 100 chars without interactions and disconnecting to save power.
Update on this.
Connectivity is great... when there's not too much 2.4GHz interference.
On campus it drops out but in the bus, at home and obviously when taking walks it's rock solid.
The powersaving is not an issue, it reconnects in 2 seconds if you point it towards you.
The notification storage limit is not a problem for me, it's way more than it seems.
But while great for me it definitely is not for Linus.
As a first gen Android Wear owner I've been disappointed in the state of smart watches for years at this point. I've gone back to wearing a plain Casio watch at this point. The original Android Wear experience was near perfect. It was a minimal experience centered around notification cards and just presenting the information that matters. It just worked.
Have you guys tried the Ticwatch watches? With their double screen, depending on how you set it battery can last for days (mostly used as an old digital Casio-like watch, just press the button and it's a full-fledged smartwatch; well, it's WearOS, but still)
@LTT! Please do a review video on the Oura Ring!
What did one hat say to the other?
"Stay here! I'm going on ahead"
My favorite is my Galaxy watch always thinking i am bicycling on my motorcycle.
I really recommend trying Huawei watches. I have Huawei watch GT2 and it lasts for 14 DAYS.
Plus the design is really good with decent oled display. Heart rate tracking is accurate.
Only thing that might be bad is the lack of Strava integration and ability to respond to notifications.
I have it too but I also have polar h10 and let me corrects you that heart tracking is not accurate. It has Times when it is and sometimes it very far off, wouldnt recommend its HR Feature.
@@cyjanek7818 that's the thing most of the comments are missing: Linus wants a device with accurate health tracking. Not just another smartwatch.
I really liked my Pebble. My replacement has been the Garmin Forerunner 35. Charging once a week and E-ink displays for the win.
I still use my Asus zenwatch 3 every day. Love it for notifications, telling time and simple things like music control
How does the Miband stack up tho? i get about 29 days from my band 4 and it does sleep tracking too.
I used to have the OG Pebble back in high school and that was genuinely one of the coolest pieces of tech I had, wish I knew where it was to see if it works better then my current watch of choice being an Apple Watch
So my Garmin Venu 2 Plus has a 9 day battery. Pretty good with notifications and yeah. I wanted a smart watch that did notifications primarily. And my Pebble Time Steel had the battery kind of inflated... So rip watch.
My Galaxy watch 4 has been doing excellently at recognizing when I'm active, walking detection works good too
That video idea is great testing all the smart watches health and fitness features for accuracies
I have the galaxy watch 4 40mm and I can get a day and a half of use, today I started with about 60% and went up until just now (21:25) to 10% and I have wifi GPS everything on
My biggest thing is, these are consumer electronics devices that will be obsolete in 2-3 years. A good watch will last 50.
This video literally made me go buy a pebble watch. I had 2 of them forever ago starting with version 1 then upgrading to 2, my second one the rubber buttons started decaying so it unfortunately died. I just purchased a Pebble Time Round, so I'm hopeful this becomes my permanent watch since my current WearOS watch makes me very unhappy. Fingers crossed.
Bought an og Pebble Steel because of this WAN show and after a day I think its fantastic. The Rebble Alliance keeping them working are actual gods.
The Oura ring sounds cool, but the $300 USD price plus subscription cost required to use the app is a huge turn off!
I have a fossil hybrid hr and it is the closets thing I can get to a pebble
I even have a watch face on it that had the style of the pebble round
I'm hoping one day some company makes a clone of the pebble or something that is very similar
Legitimately, why don't you try Garmins? The Fenix 6 Pro series is great. If you leave off Pulse Ox, it's week long battery, even on the smaller 6s Pro
who is the guy?
4:35 Everyday, we come so close to LinusSexTips, and yet we're still so far...
