So I bought an Apple Watch. I could list out all the reasons that I bought it, but it's probably more truthful to say that I just fell for the marketing 😀

Having said that, I have enjoyed it. Here are some of the things I have found interesting so far:
  1. Being able to run an ECG and a pulse ox with a wristwatch is pretty amazing to me.
  2. Also, I didn't think I would use it for sleep monitoring. My sleep patterns are for shit, so I thought I'd give it a try, and I found the information interesting.

  3. One thing that surprised me is how much I pay attention to the rings. The UI is well designed to be sort of addictive -- encouraging exercise, movement, etc. to 'close the rings'.

  4. Of course, messaging, calendar, weather forecast, etc is useful.
  5. Recording information about walking: Time, calories burned, average heart rate, 22 minutes and 32 second pace, miles walked.


    This recording happened pretty much automatically. Early in the walk, I felt a buzz but ignored it. When I was on the way back, I felt the same strong-ish buzz. So I looked, and it was prompting me to record the walk.

    "It appears that you are doing an exercise." And the button is "Record outside walk" --
