Been flipflopping between Strava and NRC. I hate how NRC doesn't work with my Galaxy Watch 4 so I'm forced to use my Apple Watch 4 or iPod Nano with it. Settled on LoseIt for calorie tracking because Premium is way cheaper per year than MyFitnessPal. Jabra Elite 7 Active for the headphones.

I'm just not a fan of all these different ecosystems and how they try to gate you into them and get you to subscribe to a premium service so they can track and collect your data and sell it on top of your sub fee.

honestly breh I’d recommend a Garmin (Forerunner or Fenix) and push all the data to Garmin Connect and all it a day. You pay for the watch and that’s it with Garmin. fukk paying for a subscription for data the watch already recorded. The website version of Garmin Connect is detailed and the app is a great companion as well if you’re not near a computer on the regular

I use a Garmin watch every day and have the data going from Connect to Strava and then NRC. fukk a Apple Watch or a Fitbit. Those shyts are for kids and casuals who wouldn’t know what to do what the data anyway.

The Apple Watch is surprisingly accurate for calories burned. I tracked for a week using Lose It! allowing the app to sync my energy expenditure with the Apple Watch and my weight was within 0.10 of a pound of what it should have been.

The Apple Watch has been proven to have the most accurate heart rate sensor on smart watches.
