    This is great! subscriptions for gadgets are a no-go for me. Big reason why I picked Garmin over fitbit. It's why I use affinity over Photoshop. Why do we have to keep paying for things forever? I've had my affinity license since 2017, that's 168 months! That would be an insane amount of money with a subscription. I would do at max $15 a year subscription for anything to cover server costs, but that's it.

    Some people don’t like watches. I’ve used Apple Watch, garmin watch oura and now have a Ultrahuman ring I’ve been trying out and I can say I love the UH ring. I loved the oura gen 2 before it had a subscription. Apple sleep tracking is based on your alarm schedule so it tracks time in bed and sleep based on that it doesn’t just track based on activity so it can say 7 hours of sleep when you know u slept much less. Apple recently now will ask if your awake on the watch if you wake up before your alarm which helps with accuracy Garmin is similar but it has morning report and when u look though that in the morning or if you been moving around a lot it will know your awake based on that. For working out garmin or apple may be better but for sleep the rings tend to do that better. The app interface is super nice on the ultra human whereas on the apple I have to fumble through sections of a watch to see how I sleep data wise but in the ring it’s on one slide and there’s like 9 metrics. Garmin is similar where most of it’s in one spot but still some is in others. OURA and Ultrahuman have it all in one area. Ultrahuman’s to me is better no subscription, 30 dollars they have a damage, list or stolen insurance for a year, and their interface is the best I’ve seen. Their workout data matched my garmin pretty well also but you need the phone for GPS if it’s a run or walk you want tracked on a map. Also the phone is only way to manually trigger a workout on rings.
