For a long time I favoured a metal strap with a magnetic clasp - you can 'clip and unclip' as much as you like. Also looked smarter. I use a fitnit but mostly because I prefer something as small as possible but a lot of the Garmin options look much more like 'proper' watches.

I suspect I want a wide interpretation of 'current way of doing things' because it feels as though there are a whole lot of things that need to change before we think we can drop all the labels.

The message being pushed is that of 'overdiagnosis' which definitely isn't helpful without proper interrogation which I think the piece does try to do.
