Fitbit for fitness trackers. I had one of their smartwatches and never found it useful. The trackers are stripped down versions that do everything I need and have a week of battery life.

Fortunately, I have a Charge 4. And there has been some enshittification since Google bought them up.

The physical button on the 4 is great. If I recall correctly, the issue with the 4 was the plastic for the clasps for attaching the bands. Mine broke in such a way that I couldn't get a band back on it.

I don't think you can completely trust any brand. Obviously some are better than others and I assume that's what you're asking.

Bosch tend to make pretty good machines. Mercedes cars are okay. Jura coffee makers are decent. Snap on tools are nice. Petzl outdoor gear is good. Armytek lights are solid. 3M products are good. EDZ and Icebreaker garments are nice.

McDonalds. Their burgers and fries have consistent quality no matter where on the planet I eat them.

Better late than never, but I really like Nokian Tyres. They are fantastic.
