Smartwatches are mainly used for fitness tracking at this point although I do like my Pebble and Fossil Hybrid watches quite a lot

    My smartwatch has literally changed my life. I got it because I needed to keep track of blood oxygen on a regular basis for a medical condition, and while the finger clip reader was okay I wanted something I had on me all the time. But the mere fact that I could see, on an ongoing basis, how many calories I was burning was extremely motivating to my adhd mind, and I started exercising, then tracking calories and dieting, I’ve built muscle, lost fat, and actually changed my lifestyle in general. And don’t tell me I could have done those things without a smartwatch— years of empirical evidence contradict that statement.

    people rely too much on the heart rate, blood pressure hting its very inaccurate. apparently they otc for CGM for your blood sugar, again that is super inaccurate compared to the Rx version, its also pretty much useless for people dont have TYPE 2 diabetes.
