Enter Garmin

FitBit and the Google Pixel watch became such an utter disappointment that the decision to enter into a new, multi-month financial obligation was an easy one.

It was difficult to pick a Garmin product because there are so many of them. One, it seems, for every exercise enthusiast under the sun. Eventually, I settled on the Vivoactive 5 as a kind of Solomon’s wisdom, splitting the selection down the middle.

The real test comes tomorrow and its first ascent trainer workout at the gym. One improvement is that it doesn’t have the Pixel’s dumb habit of tripping the Do Not Disturb feature.
