This isn’t correct. Their devices track sleep (amongst other things beyond heart rate), which IMO is the #1 killer app.

I have a Versa 2. They support Pandora.

I have not tried the subscription yet but plan to.

I definitely would like more innovation too, but IMO it’s still the best in class. I switched from the Band after MS discontinued. I had (and returned) an Apple Watch because of lack of good sleep tracking.

Yeah, sleep tracking is really the only thing I use mine for to get a decent idea of my cycles and at least understand how long I was sleeping. It's not perfect, but for the price and form factor it's doing an amazing job.
