Privacy Concerns in Fitness Tracking Devices
The speaker and a friend are of the same height but different builds, with the speaker describing themselves as having a 'desk body' and their friend as having a 'trash can body'. The speaker discusses their previous experience with fitness trackers like Fitbit and Apple Watch, particularly valuing the sleep tracking feature due to having sleep apnea. However, they express concerns about privacy issues related to Apple's data lock-in and the invasive privacy systems of other brands such as Garmin or Google. The speaker mentions their hesitation in adopting a new fitness tracking device due to GPS tracking and data privacy concerns, but acknowledges the need to explore alternatives in the fitness tracking ecosystem despite being privacy conscious.
