I'm not going to use their cloud-based vault, but this is effectively no different than what we all do with iCloud or Dropbox for storing copious amounts of data that is all maintained by "one password." Hell, even my 1Password vault is now synced to iCloud and previously through Dropbox, which is all they're doing since each account has a unique key.

It's not the same thing as agilebits servers become large honeypot for hackers. A single compromise means they could have access to everybody's 1Password vaults and keys. By being able to access your vault via the web, it necessitates key storage by agilebits.

When a user stores in iCloud/ dropbox their decryption keys aren't stored there. 

Myself and the wife both have iPhone 6 and will be upgrading with the next release.

Completely different markets it's like comparing apples to oranges...literally. The review was reasonable but doesn't appear to come from a serious athlete. The Fenix range is aimed at those who do multi-sports like triathlons or ultra-running as it can combine and track multiple activities over many hours. Some ultra-events last longer than the Apple watch has battery life so it isn't even in the running as a competitor in this market. My Fenix 5X goes for almost 2 weeks when used as a watch with notifications etc. I can go 50hrs recording a fitness activity including metrics such has Heart Rate, GPS track recording, speed, pace, distance, elevation (including gain/ lost), R-R calculations, anaerobic/ aerobic training effect, VO2MAX, cadence, ground contact time and vertical oscillation amongst many others. It has on device GPS and extensive maps including Topo - as well as the ability to load third party maps like openmaps etc. Serious athletes don't use the on-device optical HR during an activity, they continue to use bluetooth/ ANT+ chest straps and optical HR is used for continual monitoring of daily HR. It's the best way to get a true reading of energy expenditure. It's in a completely different league as a fitness device.

I've just switched all my banking to ANZ today.

I think the big 4 banks in this filing are missing the point of a wallet. By design, a wallet keeps all your bank cards (from any bank) as well as loyalty cards etc. The big 4 state that they want people to have the choice of their wallet provider. However, non of the banks are providing wallets. They provide apps to their own products. NAB most definitely won't allow me to store my ANZ cards etc.


It is only Apple that is offering a "wallet" to anybody who is interested.
