Ask HN: Why doesn't Apple make a non-watch fitness tracker?

by websap on 8/19/24, 8:38 AM with 4 comments

I'm old school and like to wear a regular watch from time to time.

The Apple watch is useful to track my daily healthy. I really wish Apple made a device that could just serve as a fitness tracker, no notifications or screen required. It would boost battery life as well.

Are there any accessories to wear an Apple Watch not on your wrist, but still get reliable data?

    tis biggest consumer company in the world, and you are not their target market.

    are you ok with wearing devices that strap around your chest? those types provide much more accurate data afaik.
