I used to buy Garmin fitness bands, but they seem to have been discontinued. Among other things, I wore them overnight and use them as an alarm clock. Having a charge that lasts 7+ days is such a huge benefit imho. Does anyone have any other recommendations? I currently have a Fitbit, but I would also prefer a model that didn’t have an associated cloud account.
It may be bigger than a band but it's surprisingly small and very light to the feel, I barely notice the difference with the Fitbit Charge HR 2 I owned before. Major reason why I'm not upgrading to a Fenix of something like that.
Plus up to 15 days on battery when not using GPS, much more if I disable continuous HR.
Personal preference but I find the Venu so light that it does not bother me for sleep the way my Fossil Explorist did (which also never had enough battery to do overnight tracking!)
