Removing the heartrate from exercise reports was the last straw.  I don't really want an Apple Watch.  What replacement is recommended?

I get heart rate on all my exercise summaries.  Care to post your exercise summary to figure out the problem?

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

After my Charge 5 battery life was terrible and the 50% discount doesn’t apply to Charge 6, I switched to Garmin.

 

seems like it was the right decision, the updated app seems to be awful.

My mistake.  I figured you were basing this on personal experience, not just reading posts of others.

@logsden I bought an Amazfit Band 7 several months ago when the firmware update bricked my Charge 5. I'm happy with it so far. And it was one heck of a lot cheaper than Fitbit at only $35. It has a little larger screen than Charge 5, which I wanted for my 64 year old eyes.

Wow.  Of course, I am basing this on personal experience.  This thread is focused on finding a replacement.  If you want to prove us all wrong about the heartrate reporting issue, please post in one of those other threads.
