I've received a basic Garmin watch for my 5 years anniversary with the company I work for and I don't use as:
-The app has dark patterns like: you need to put a weight and height before you proceed with the setup, even though you can remove those later.
-Step counter quite simply doesn't work, as it grossly overestimates the count.
-5 day battery life. Not terrible, but also not practical.
-Notifications. All. The. Time. And about some "fitness goals" I don't remember setting. I have enough distractions from my phone thank you very much.
Who is the target audience for this?
- lloeki 2y agoHeight and weight are key metrics to compute e.g BMI and VO2max. The only notifications I get are when an activity gets synced, and I did not set up anything particular, it's all default in that regard.
- Levitating 2y ago> The app has dark patterns like: you need to put a weight and height before you proceed with the setup, even though you can remove those later. That's not a dark pattern. A fitness watch has to know your weight and height for basically all of its fitness related functions...
- Tade0 2y agoWhat if I'm not interested in those and just want the text notifications and maybe my pulse?
