Google Pixel watch. I had a Garmin fitness tracker and a Pixel phone, and had difficulty transferring my fitness metrics to Sheets. So why not combine the two?

The Android fitness app is a walled garden inside a walled garden, and I still can't transfer my metrics to Sheets.

The Australian cartoonist Stuart McMillen wrote a good cartoon called Rat Park about this experiment; https://www.stuartmcmillen.com/comic/rat-park/


It's not about the same experiment, unless I am mistaken, but it's a great comic nevertheless, thank you for sharing.
