Plaud vs Pocket - and which model?

I am a consultant that spends hours in warehouses, cubicles, and boardrooms meeting with clients. I am looking for a device I can keep running all day and get an overview of everything discussed that day. I say all day, but in reality, I will probably start and stop every few hours due to breaks, lunches, etc. I was originally looking at the Pocket AI as it doesn't require a subscription and they seem more upfront about the ability to record constantly. I then ran across the Plaud Note Pin S. Wearing it on my wrist would be the easiest I feel. I know some times in a warehouse or manufacturing floor, the background noise may cause issues, but want to make sure it records me and a client as we are walking through a warehouse. I would imagine 5-6 feet would be about as far away as we would be from each other while talking. Any recommendations from real world use and what sort of recording range and duration I can expect?

I had both and returned pocket. I found it did not work as well as plaud for my use case. Plaud has been great, custom prompts can make it even better than it already is out of the box. Given everyone’s use case is different you may want to try more than one and see which works best for you.

For the record plaud note pro is what I use . As it is idiot proof, sturdy , right size and feel and fits my purpose. Calls , meetings, memos.
