An argument against whoop or any niche bands:
I went abroad for a semester to a country where getting stuff mailed was a PITA. Turns out I lost my whoop charger in my quarantine hotel. Support sent a new charger but to actually mail it was close to impossible.
Now I use an Apple Watch. If I lose the charger basically any city on Earth has a store selling apple products (doesn't have to be a real Apple Store) and I get can a new charger in the same day.
