Smart watches

[Mickey Merrie]

So I golfed 18 and it measured most of that time as stress, both medium and high. I can tell you it was a stress free a day of pure pleasure for me.
Came home ate dinner and took a mile plus walk. More stress on the monitor but a pure joy of an evening walk, mildly brisk pace. The darn watch manufactures stress in my mind. Garmin Instinct 2. Part of the issue could be in rural areas poor interconnection between the watch, the phone and the cell towers or satellites?

Nope, I see that as stress to the body and mine registers the same. You are participating in an athletic sport, even if riding in a cart. In, out, up, down, walking etc....it is all a stress to the body. What I find relaxing for my mind and spirt will only sometimes align with the my watch, I documented it above. Mine will spike when I get up off the couch, stand up from table, walk out to mailbox, etc. It's the battery part that helps fight against that stress. How fast does your body drop heart rate to a resting state, etc. Just like a load test on a battery, it's got to be challenged, and challenged often to rebound quickly.

Makes sense to me. Healthy stress verses harmful stress!

When do guy guys charge these watches if you're wearing them to sleep?

Mine is on the charger now. By the time my wife cuts my hair and I get a shower it will be charged. Mine gets about a 30 minute charge every 2 weeks. Always the same routine.

These smart watches are smarter then I am. Apparently I hit some buttons bumping into things and put it in battery saver. 35 days between charges but not showing tracking anything. Once my son fixed it for me it showed that even in battery saver it counted my steps anyways.

I finally figured out how to use it on the golf course and it has a hunt setting in their as well.

I failed me this week. Lots of mental stress got the best of me. Time to put it past me and worry about me again.

Yes, I realize the stress is about body stress and not mental stress. The mental stress will lead to body stress tho. I didn't do much work this week. Lots and lots of phone calls happened.

I started the weekend with my resting HR around 109. Sitting at 78 currently. I need more relaxing weekends in my life!!!

Just got to thinking about this again and went and looked...I gotta learn how to build my battery more! Or learn how to not drain myself every day. Lol

I’ve been a runner for a couple years. I’m not good but I am consistent. I run/walk 9 to 15miles a week. Which is good for me! Anyhow - my Apple Watch is junk. No battery life.

So what do you all like?

 

[giles]

What are you wanting to track?

What are you wanting to track?

Mostly just calories, miles, I’d like to be able to swim with it as well. Prices seem all over board on these things!

When it comes to a component in your life that you will truly use and it will make your life better. Buy once cry once.

I am still very happy with this Garmin. For what you are wanting a fit bit might be a much more affordable option. But I only take mine off for 15-20 minutes every 2 weeks. It charges while I get a hair cut and take a shower. Usually still 7-10 days left on the charge. That's just the cycle I use, it charges on days the wife cuts my hair.
