I'm trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time.

Anyone have any recommendations, I need something with a decent heart monitor, that's really the only thing I care about.

Honestly, a good privacy policy, and even a good history of standing up to law enforcement as per the review means nothing to me. They could easily be bought out by vulture capitalists that do whatever they want with the data. Or they get a nice NSL in the mail and it doesn't matter what the executives think they stand for. You should own your health data.

I like how you called it "vulture" instead of "venture", it's definitely more accurate!
