Cool. So that helps narrow down the selection of devices to replace your current Garmin once you need to upgrade…
It’s getting a little frustrating that every company seems to want a few dollars per month from me. I get that it is expensive to maintain servers and keep programmers on staff to write and maintain the software, but I really hate being nagged by everything I own to buy more stuff.
I also wonder how silly all of these subscriptions are. Especially for running. Do you need your Garmin or Polar watch to tell you what workout to do and when? Or should you follow a well established routine like Pfitz or Daniel’s running formula (or something more casual)? Do you need your data synced to the cloud and shared with Strava? Are the virtual “kudos” from others what’s keeping you motivated? Do you need your watch to tell you how that workout went compared to past workouts? Or should you figure out how to listen to your body and make that evaluation yourself?
Maybe these subscriptions are useful for beginners who don’t know how to do the above. I’m just a little curmudgeonly and I really just need a watch that gives me distance and time.
Also do you need your watch to tell you how you slept last night? Do you even need your watch to be a watch at all to tell time? You phone can tell time, FFS. Hell even lift your head and look at the sky. It’s a lost fine art.
Technology is for making your life better, not make you depend on it.
