Looked into them, but they do seem very much on the pricey side with what is in essence a yearly subscription. Also, they are screen free so not really a watch.
I decided for what it was, £200 a year was too much. I think if you're a serious fitness addict, then you could argue it's a reasonable buy.

As above, they aren't really a 'watch' as there is no screen. Just a fitness monitor. They are a good Apple/Polar/Garmin alternative for anyone working in a sensitive area which doesn't allow smart watches, but if that is not a concern then I'd just go for a fitness watch personally. I know at least a couple of people who wear both, which just seems daft.
The idea is that it’s a distraction free, always on, wearable - rather than a watch.
They’re very good at what they do if you are keen to implement healthy lifestyle changes across your sleep, exercise and nutrition.
I wore mine for 6 months and found that it actually negatively impacted my quality of life. I’d be worried about going to bed on time and not having a glass of wine, rather than enjoying my evening with my partner.
If I woke up and it said my sleep / recovery score was low I’d would affect my mood rather than me basing it on how I actually feel.
I still exercise every day and implement ~90% of what it would suggest, but I’m completely data free now and find myself much happier. I might live 5 years less though!
