lol. what other option is there 😀 in the 10-20K range 😀

mi band under 2k 3k. amazefit bip for 5k amazefit watch under 10k. Apple watch series 2~3 for above 15k. my friend bought a surge and it too broke apart within 6 months. granted he got a replacement but meh. he sold it and bought an series 3.

syncing with google fit is like basic feature expected but no.. fitbit gonna fitbit.

Right. I wonder if Samsung devices sync. Their smartband is selling for around 15k. But most notification features only work with Samsung phones iirc.

I dont like samsungs touchwhiz. I dont use any of their phones. I really like Apple watch but it doesnt work without iPhone and I hate ios. so its a no go for me.

I dont know when but recently google fit started recording data from pedometer installed in phone. till recently It was not doing that

 

[Sushubh]

did you change between your observations? 😛

 

[dextermorgan]

😛 3 days back I lost my fitbit and found out that google fit is still counting steps. then found out its from phone pedometer. I made a post 2 years back why google wasn't counting pedometer steps which is built into Snapdragon processors since long back.

Does i work with location disabled now? Pedometer I mean? Earlier I think it required location to be on. I have started keeping location off now and Fit still works well.

Though I have to turn it on for stupid apps like the Bluetooth bulb app and even Mi Home.
