I don't mind that excuse about my Mi Band 6, because it was like £25.
I would mind that excuse when we're talking about a £339 smartwatch. So I won't buy one.
I won't buy a Fitbit either, because the wife had one and every week was a complex dance of restarting the phone and watch several times until they agreed to connect to each other.
And they pretty much have made most of the utility locked behind an $80 subscription
No thanks
Why would a smartwatch need a subscription?? what does it even do?
Without the subscription, you have to pay 99 cents to check the time.
