I wish I could get a fitness band that doesn't rely on a smartphone. I don't take my smartphone on runs with me. I don't have it on me when I'm working out... Pretty much any time I'd like to know my heartrate, I'd like to not have my smartphone on me. I want one with a tiny LCD on it to show me my footsteps and heartrate, and I want to plug it into my computer and get a CSV. That's it. For the 99% of normal people who don't want to play with their data in python, you can give them a simple OTG cable and have your app do everything there. I don't need a smartwatch to read me my text messages or buzz for notifications.

  Indeed. but I also want to listen to spotify while I run. Doesn't seem any of those can do that, but if I'm missing something I'd love to know. I also want that data to go into runkeeper.
