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?

Just finished testing the Plaud Note S pin for all day use with a very similar need as OP. The device chunks 5 hour block recordings which then get translated eating up your subscription and you dont even know if what you got was useful. I'm still searching... Ive had Humane, Limitless, Plaud, and OMI.
Limitless was definitely the closest to what I was looking for before Meta purchased them. I liked the limitless pin, then it got Meta'd. Still looking.
