No health compatibility is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Many of you are drawing comparisons of Fitbit's existing products to an Apple Watch.That's ridiculous. They have just about nothing in common. In their product class and price range they are fine. Before I had an Apple Watch I owned a Charge and a Charge 2. No problems with them. I had no unrealistic expectations and never thought they could do what an Apple Watch does. You guys heaping on the garbage with you stories the are at least 50% BS need to grow up. Your are a perfect example of why enthusiast websites of any variety are close to worthless. All that distinguishes you from the Android fanbois is your preference for Apple. You are just like the guys on the other side.No difference.

Many of who? 1 guy asked if it was better than his torn up fitbit and another complained about them falling apart. That's 2 of 20 responses. I don't even know what you are even trying to say in your other sentences. They don't make sense together and they don't apply to anything anyone has said.

And it’s infinitely uglier than the Apple Watch. 

Interesting. I had am opposite reaction. I wish the Apple Watch looked more like this. I like the functionality of my Apple Watch, but wish it looked nicer. It's a bit bulbous.

So the Ionic is your idea of something that looks nicer? Jeez. I think it looks slightly less horrific than Samsung's first few smartwatches.

Agreed. Looking at their website, those are the best images they have? It looks like the glass was put on as an afterthought, with the ridges visible above the watch that look like you could pry it off with your fingers. Looks like the weird lines of the first-gen stealth planes.

Not really a subscription model, you pay for the new version and If you don't want it next year you cancel. No monthly payments...

Um, just because it's not monthly doesn't make it "not a subscription model". Do people pay monthly for a monthly magazine? Nope, they pay yearly, and it's called a magazine subscription.

If you buy a standard application, you can use it in perpetuity (as long as your system runs).
You buy this Quicken and then stop paying, you don't get your magazine software anymore.

 I see some comments about the notch. The test question is this: would you like the notch if you saw it on an Android phone? And the answer is, you would ridicule it, whether you want to admit it or not. So, no, the notch is not good. The thing is this: do you think the Face ID is worth the notch? The alternative is to use Touch ID on the back side, and whatever there is left to put on the front, would probably fit in the edge that would be left at the top, since iPhone X bezels are quite thick for a "bezel-less" phone. In my opinion, Touch ID is just fine, and did not need to be replaced with a fancy Face ID. And putting it on the back would not have been that bad. It would not have been the first thing we copied from the Android side.

Hardly. I think all this crap about some notch is some sort of wart on a phone is ridiculous at best, no matter who may have put one there. Also, it has been in the hands of only a very few, and pictures of phones never do reality any justice.

Most of the time it will be filled with informational stuff, just like the top is now. It will be a non-issue except for those who just want to nit-pick.

Oh, and then there's this...http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/busted-equifax-forces-hacked-customers-to-waive-right-to-sue-in-exchange-for-using-its-credit-service/  

That's even if you just ask them if you were hacked!

I'm not seeing that. I put in my surname, the last 6 of my SSN, and clicked the box to prove I'm not a robot. I don't recall agreeing to anything else.

It's there. You agree to waive your rights using the website. When you go to the site to check if you were affected, there is terms of service section on the bottom. When you click on the terms of service, read section 4. 

https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/

I looked it over but I’m not seeing what you say exists. Can you not simply copy the sentence or paragraph that stated that says my rights are waived by simply “using the website” without even signing up for the service or agreeing to their terms of service? Can you also explain how “using the website” legally binds you to anything?

It says this right at the top:

What are the Terms of Use for Equifax?

Below you will find our Product Terms of Use and the Site Terms of Use when using the Equifax website. You can also review our Privacy Policy, which provides information regarding our handling of any personal information that you may provide to us.

On section 4, it says this:

AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS BY REQUIRING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW) AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ARBITRATION PROVIDES A QUICK AND COST EFFECTIVE MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES, BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT ALSO LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL.

I don't see how this would hold up in court if you are just simply checking to see if you were affected by the data breach. Signing up for the service, that could hold up in court. 

Where does it say this? Why can’t you simply quote the sentence that says “using the website” protects them from being sued even without ever agreeing to their terms of service?

It doesn't say that flat out but that's what it means reading the terms. You are agreeing to the terms of the website by using it. Terms of service on websites are enforceable. You technically don't have to agree to anything either. Legally enforcing the terms is another issue though. 

Bro. That's to purchase their products.
"THIS PRODUCT AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE ("AGREEMENT") CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH YOU MAY PURCHASE AND USE OUR PRODUCTS THROUGH THE WWW.EQUIFAX.COM, WWW.IDENTITYPROTECTION.COM AND WWW.IDPROTECTION.COM WEBSITES AND ALL OTHER WEBSITES OWNED AND OPERATED BY EQUIFAX AND ITS AFFILIATES ("SITE"). YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN SECTION 4 BELOW, BEFORE YOU WILL BE PERMITTED TO REGISTER FOR AND PURCHASE ANY PRODUCT FROM THIS SITE. BY REGISTERING ON THIS SITE AND SUBMITTING YOUR ORDER, YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF, AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY, THIS AGREEMENT. YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY USING OR PAYING FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR TAKING OTHER ACTIONS THAT INDICATE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT."

If people are going to quote an agreement, they really should read the entire agreement. This above is the very first thing in their terms of use, in which you quote #4.
