none.

Sad. This is an untapped market.

seems so, though, data is were they monetize

These guys were the OG heart rate monitor. Used to just be a watch and a chest band. No apps no cell phone. Was actually pre-smartphone when they started. https://www.polar.com/us-en/products/heart-rate-sensors

The bangle devices are open source devices worth considering. https://banglejs.com/

What about the old-fashioned way where the money is made through the sale of the device itself? 😆

Their "Loop" product looks pretty minimalist and not obnoxious.

We used to call it pen and paper back in my day

Nice. And a good price too! Will look into them more.

Looks good at a glance. You know much about their current privacy policy?

And when exactly was your day, squire?

Just a basic black strap. Simple. Maybe different colour if spooky would imply on a colour. 🖖

Unfortunately no, we used to have to wear them during our fitness classes in High school (early 2000's). Back then it was just a chest strap and a watch; no data being recorded on any computer. The heart rate and time above target heart rate was just tracked on the watch. Your post just reminded me of them. Certainly *seems* less spooky then everything else out there now.

I meant spooky, as in, reporting back your every step and bowel movement to the mothership.

Hahaha... yeah... I was just reading comments and realised. I wasnt familiar with the term in that direction. I dont think I cared ever much to even check. That is why it didnt come to my mind 🤦‍♀️😄 sorry

At the very least less addictive (no screen), so that's a huge plus. Will look into them more. Thanks for the info!

those days are fading more and more as they embedded "smart technology."

Ah, nice. Yeah, that name rings a bell actually. I think they might do a phone too.
