The user needs a fitness tracker for health reasons (bone density) but dislikes smartwatches due to their "too smart" features (messages, calls, apps, subscriptions). They specifically request accurate pulse and step counting, a feminine design, and ideally a smart bracelet form factor, at an affordable price. The core need is for essential, accurate health tracking without the complexity and cost of a full smartwatch.
Hi reddit. For my health I am somewhat forced to start using a fitness tracker. And start doing fitness including weight lifting for that matter. I never had nor wanted a smart watch. The Oura rings seem like a problem when weight lifting so theyre not for me either. I would love a smart watch thats not too smart. I dont need messages or calls or apps and for sure no subscriptions. What i do need is accurate pulse and step count. Id also like a feminine design. Are there eg any smart bracelets that are worthwhile? Preferably at a good price because i dont feel like spending hundreds for something I didnt want in the first place. If there is nothing reliable in the low price segment i will ofc have to prioritize functionality over price... But id rather not. Thanks in advance! For the curious ones; i have a problem with my bone density and to postpone ending up in a wheelchair i need to integrate a lot of fitness into my lazy life. Eta: My phones are almost always Android.
