The problem is, health is easily the biggest thing in wearables. The problem for Apple is their health stuff isn’t up to snuff with their competitors.

As someone in the market for my first wearable, which devices are better for health tracking? thanks!

Not something I have strong opinions on, but probably something by Garmin. (Remember them? They’re still around and shockingly successful.)

Check whether any device you’re looking at requires a subscription.

I don't wear a watch for health bs. I wear a watch to tell time; the fact that it can also call my family is a bonus. Or show the current weather.

You’ve just described why people have a phone.

In 2010. Nobody has a phone to check the time and call people anymore, and haven't since smart phones became de rigeur.
