Thank you, this made me feel glad I switched back to Xiaomi. Battery life Time Vibrating alarms Sleep/Step tracking Happy with these (and the ux and price)

  As mentioned here (1) the IMHO cool and useful features are good battery life, heart rate and sleep tracking, "find my phone" and "tap to pay" / NFC payments. Find my phone: because sometimes you'd rather not spend 5 minutes checking where in the house you might have put it down, so making the phone beep saves time. Tap to pay: I live in a big city. Serious crime is low, but phone snatching is common. Paying without even taking a wallet or phone out of your pocket is ergonomic. People use it for public transport too. However, Tap to pay requires payments infrastructure and certification. A watch that does it will always come from a larger corporation because of this. e.g. Pebble watches do not do it. The "AI health coach" is pointless shovelware. The inevitable "AI feature" that no-one asked for. This is a failing of larger corporations too, so the sweet spot (if it exists) would be NFC without "AI health coach". 1) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49279527 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49279527
