Looking For Advice On Correct Device

I'm new to these always on recording devices and although I've used meeting transcription apps in the past, I don't really know where to turn to for hardware.

I have a fairly simple use case:

Mon-Fri: 8 30 min sales calls per day to record, transcribe, and make a digest of
1 once per month: 2 hour sales meeting to transcribe, and make a digest of.
Daily: personal to-do list, things to remember, general conversations to remember.

I have been looking at the Plaud Pin to wear as a wristband, and I like the formfactor of it. The Plaud note seems great as well, but during the weekends I use my Android phone which doesn't have a magsafe case, and truth be told, I don't see myself recording very many phone calls. In the event I do need to record a phone call, if I put it on speaker and recorded through the Pin would I be able to get a decent enough transcript?

I have looked into a few competitor devices, and they seem as though they'd fit my needs as well and not needing a subscription would be a HUGE plus for me, but there seems to be a lot of concessions to get that. I should add, I really don't need access to the audio recording often (if ever), as long as the transcription is pretty good.

For my use case, do you have any device recommendations? Is there a big reason why I should avoid any competitor devices over the Plaud Pin?
