I’m actually thinking of switching from Vivosmart 5 to Apple Watch and using the StressWatch app. Have you tried it? On the iPhone companion app I noticed if you try to get out of the subscription prompt it will offer a good discount. But overall it’s probably paying more and hoping for something al

does anyone know of any similar devices to the visible band?
Depends on preference and use case. The Garmin watch I have (research study, mandatory, vivosmart 5) has a silicone band and a form factor that tends to get in the way of sleeves, etc. more than my Apple Watch. Another downside: my Garmin vivosmart 5 doesn’t have the capacity to do real-time HR thre

Summary of research on the "most accurate" health wearable by metric. Oura Ring, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.
This is super useful. Been comparing devices for a while and the Oura bias is real but the HRV data is actually solid. What surprises me is how bad Garmin is at wake detection. 27% for Vivosmart is brutal. I track with Fitbit and the nocturnal HRV has been pretty consistent but now wondering if I sh

Perimenopause - what tracker
As someone also in perimenopause, I would recommend not a tracker but hormone therapy. My local doctor refused to prescribe it, so I signed up with the online provider Midi, specializing in menopause. Hormone medication made a huge difference in my quality of life. I would not recommend any particul

heliostrap (and armband) experiences after 6 months
I’ve had mine for literally just a few hours and was actually surprised at how many steps I already had counted - will keep monitoring. I gave up on a garmin Vivosmart 5 because of inaccurate sleep tracking, uncomfortable band, and it hardly ever auto tracking my walks. Steps overall seemed maybe ev

Google retiring all Fitbit accounts 2/26 - Warning especially to minors with Fitbits!
4/14/26 Still using original fitbit account and never let the app update so I have features (like food tracking) that are now paid sub only. Charge 5 now, orig hw was an Alta, I think. Of course this will jinx me now, right? Have gotten 2 reminders to switch to a google account but was allowed to sk

To buy or not
I've had one for well over a year now. I had to have it replaced about a year in due to the battery not holding charge, same as many others. The step count compared to my basic Garmin Vivosmart 5 is bad, to the point where the Ring night show half as many steps sometimes. I don't know if the Garmin

Watch Fit 4 Pro
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one feeling this way about the app!! It honestly feels like everyone overlooks this part, all the reviews say the watch is great, but no one really talks about the app. Also forgot about the VIP subscription and the Huawei+ thing they are both useless lol except for
