Fitness Tracking on Apple Watch
One of the proposed benefits of wearable technology is the notion of having a health-and-fitness tracker attached to your body 24/7 — or at least for a good portion of the day. This is the case with activity-tracking wristbands, like Fitbit and Jawbone Up, and also the appeal of some smartwatches, such as Apple Watch.
To test these features of Apple Watch, which starts shipping this Friday, I have gone on a workout spree over the past few weeks. I’ve gone running indoors and outdoors, finished a 5K road race, sweated through a few spin classes, practiced yoga, lifted weights and hiked a particularly hilly area in my neighborhood. I had my iPhone nearby most of the time, but I intentionally left it behind on a few occasions.
This is a great review and shows how the Apple Watch can potentially help us become a little bit more healthier. I have no doubt that the health aspect of Apple Watch is going to grow into something of significance in the coming years.
