I literally just bought a Fitbit because I really needed a watch and it has the features I cared about and was way less expensive than a Garmin.

Honestly I think Google will cancel them because they compete with Android Wear or whatever which can't hold a charge worth a damn. 24 hours for a Pixel Watch? Fuck right off.

May I suggest Garmin? For a smartwatch they have decent battery life and tons of sport/fitness features.

You must have missed my first statement? Unless you can justify $300-$400 more for the features I use in the Fitbit. Bonus points if you can make it into a funny song.

Shit, I sure did. Sorry.

Man that's way too short to be a funny song

Another Garmin recommendation from me as well. They are built well, and not shitty with their apps.

I dunno about iOS, but the reviews of the Garmin Connect app on the Play Store are... very consistently negative over the last handful of months. There was apparently a significant redesign that made a lot of information less accessible. I was thinking about getting one of their cheaper fitness trackers, but I'm less sure about that after seeing those reviews.
