Fitbit lost me as a customer a while ago with how locked down their data is. Why buy this instead of a Pebble, an Android Wear device, or an Apple Watch, all of which have a comparable feature set and price, longer track record, and better data portability?

The metal version looks like Casio watch I wore in the 80s.
I think it's fine for a fitness device to look like a fitness device. But once it starts looking like a watch, you'd better make sure it looks device as a fashion accessory.
I have both an Apple Watch and a FitBit Surge. The Apple Watch is the better smart watch, but the Surge is a much better fitness device and you can actually see workout data in a meaningful way. At this point, I definitely need both.

More than satisfied with the Apple Watch.
