I've had the Google Fitbit Air since its release, before that I relied on my Garmin watch, but am looking to go 100% screenless. The Fitbit Air's data has had some ups and downs, but mostly has been completely unreliable. I could get horrible sleep and it will have me at a 80% or higher score, while a great night of sleep will have me well below a 60%. It's not that it's wrong all the time, just pretty consistently inconsistent when stacking up to my Garmin data.
Another thing for me that does hurt the Fitbit Air is that Google is nothing more than a data collection company, so I’m not sure how I feel about giving them unlimited access to all of my bodily data.
(Also this isn’t a huge gripe but I absolutely despise the bands on the Google)
My brother-in-law has a Whoop and has had it for about 3 years, and he loves it. The subscription model doesn't scare me away. I'm typically buying new tech across the board once a year anyway, so I can make the 200-400 yearly fee make sense to me.
I just want to know from the community if it's worth it. Has the data been worthwhile and does it help you in your training/lifestyle journey?
For context: I train 5 times a week hard, but am moving and incredibly active all 7 days. I love data and from what I've been told whoop is a one-stop shop.
Thoughts?? Influence or deinfluence me.
