Who should buy which
Individual athletes, longevity-focused individuals wanting personal VO2 tracking, private coaches with HNW clientele. The entry tier where individual ownership becomes economically rational.
You need clinical-grade validation (step up to PNOE or COSMED), or you only need 1 test per year (use a local clinic).
Athletes, fitness-first buyers, and anyone who needs explicit "should I train today?" coaching.
You hate wrist wearables, you don't want a subscription, or your priority is sleep tracking over training (go Oura).
