Paired with the polar h10 strap is a good place to start.
I used it for a little while, and quickly found that I could only breathe properly and consistently whilst I was watching/aware of my breath. As soon as I started 'working' my breathing went back to terrible.
Industry is firmly in C/C++ land and I'm trying to pivot towards a more embedded career, which would put me in more junior jobs without the political sway to say "lets try embedded rust and contribute back".
There's a couple forward thinking companies like memfault, but it seems to be the minority.
My degree was in CE so I've always played around with embedded projects, but actual design skills have stagnated from being in my field, which trends towards only developing smaller purpose built tools for internal use over products.
They are not superior. Convenient in certain circumstances, perhaps.
For example if one cannot be bothered to use, or does not have a corkscrew handy, a screw cap might be preferred for some.
I know it is difficult for most Modern Americans to use a corkscrew. Even more difficult is being able to appreciate the complexities and effort that goes into making good, traditional wine. Best to do away with tradition for the sake of convenience.
Once opened, they do not reseal as well as real cork.
This isn't a huge deal, because a separate tool made specifically for resealing wine bottles is better than either. But if you don't drink a whole bottle of wine at once, and you don't have such a tool, cork reseals better.
PFAS are a specific family of chemicals unsuitable for this application.
No significant amount of microplastics is likely to develop from the mild abrasion of opening and closing a wine bottle a handful of times. And if your risk tolerance is so low that you are worried about that largely theoretical concern, you probably should not be drinking wine at all (because we have quite concrete evidence that alcohol is unhealthy -- unlike microplastics).
I would be (much) more worried about chunks of plastic getting in my wine from those fake cork products than from screw tops.
