I'll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.

This will 100% not end well. I think we've yet to see even hardened financial / data collection systems be hack-proof. A random gym is not going to safeguard that data and/or monitor it responsibly.
A week isn't bad. I just use mine to track a lot if activities, even sailing. So hours of GPS tracking. I'm really happy with my Garmin.
I'd like their upper watches to have some more smart features, but not at the expense of battery life.
My Fenix has NFC payments, it gets notifications. Holds music/podcasts so I connect headset directly to it.
But reading and responding to notifications is clunky.
Still, for me Garmin is the way to go.
I got a pixel watch 2 last year when I bought a Pixel phone and tried wearing it. Loved the extra smart features but couldn't stand the battery life. Just a non starter for me
Problem with the smarter fitness watches is battery life. My Fenix can go about 2 weeks with running 4 days a week. I do t want to have to manage charging my watch so often it's a pain to capture my life. (Sleeping, steeps, activities)
Garmin watches, IMHO more rugged and they do not put their software behind a paywall. You'll pay for it in the cost of the watch.
I've been using Garmin for fitness since about 2013, I have use a Charge HR for steps/fitness alongside my Garmin watches when I used them only for activities.
Eventually I replaced that with a garmin Fenix 3HR that did steps, activities and looked good enough to wear all the time
I have a Fenix 6 now.
ebay a few now before the prices go up and put them in a closet.
I am actively using 11 Chromecast Audios (long since EOL) in my house to send music to multi channel amps feeding speakers in my house. I ordered 5 of them within the last 6mo from Japan (ebay) at an inflated cost, but they are still available.
I haven't because I'm always trying to do something, then I do think to troubleshoot after
Super annoying to have to fire up chrome (brave) to pay my CC bill
That works until it's your bank or credit card website. I cannot use Capital One's (CC) "pay bill" any longer.
They aren't making money off my content anymore/in the future
It's annoying as hell. I can hide shorts on my shield TV YT app from desktop at 30 day increments. It sucks you can't just turn them off
