In fact, my only real gripe is that of the setup process.
It has a slick, rectangular chassis, and our white unit has a shining chrome shell.
Some users will prefer USB-C, as USB-A is starting to look a little dated.
Still, for under $100, it’s just a charging cable.
You get what you get.
It’s essentially a single-purpose gadget, and for that purpose fitness tracking its great.
Step counting is accurate, and heart rate data was consistent while awake and asleep.
While some have reported inaccuracies with VO2 data, mine synced up with the Apple Watch Ultra nicely.
My favorite thing, though, is the GNSS support for GPS.
When it comes to sleep tracking, things are mainly centered around the stages of sleep youll get.
Once I switched those on, though, everything was pretty smooth.
The closest thing is the Vitality Score, which is a little likeFitbits Daily Readiness Score.
