I recently bought a Garmin to get rid of a $30 Whoop subscription and to get better battery than a smart watch with a Fitbit subscription. Garmin seems to give me everything I needed that the whoop does for only the cost of the watch.
It does mention all health data will be free still so for the time being I'm not opposed to them locking AI behind a paywall. I understand AI cost resources and is expemsive. I however, will not be using that shit. I think the default health insights are plenty for what i do. Granted I'm not a full on athlete like some Garmin users.
As long as they don't lock what's available now beyond a paywall I'm okay with this. But overall, I'm sick and tired of subscriptions in general.
