I totally understand that. They look perfect for their target market.

As far as I know, they're the only wearable that does realtime stroke/length tracking for swimming, which is really cool. If I was more serious about exercise, that'd be the perfect ~~excuse~~ reason to buy one.

That’s exactly why I have my Garmin Descent.

It’s a dive computer, with basic smart watch features like notifications and general health tracking which are the only ones I need.

I happily paid 1k for it.
