At the end of the day, before implementing support for streaming services via DRM, this was the most requested feature.

Privacy is a sliding scale and the idea that it's absolute privacy or nothing else isn't helpful IMO. If people want that, they should use Tor as nothing comes close.

I’ve been running Waterfox[1] for over 14 years and it’s as popular as ever.

For what it’s worth, after I bought one, around five other people I know got them, varying models from the Steel HR to Nova, and haven’t been made aware of any issues. Of course, personal experience doesn’t apply to the mass of products, and these are all UK SKUs, so who knows if issues vary between countries as well?

Overall everyone has been happy though and I haven’t seen Withings come up on HN which is surprising tbh!

Would Withings[1] watches not fit the bill? I have a ScanWatch and the battery life lasts almost a month.
