So when I first started wearing my watch, it took me a bit to get used to having an expensive thing on my wrist throughout the day. No, it’s not exclusively fit-tech, but that was my intended purpose for it - so humor me here. I also wanted to make sure that I could incorporate my new hunger for information about my behavior with my fundamental opposition to the diet culture accomplices of calorie counting, scale obsession and fitness routines that feel compulsory.īut I caved and decided, on recommendation from my sister and because it could easily work with my iPhone, to get on board the Apple Watch train. I’d never been into the FitBit, Apple Watch, data-compiling parts of late 2010s wellness (still am not counting myself as a huge fan!) because I hate math and being subjected to unnecessary numbers. I wanted to have a better understanding of my routines and see if I could maybe incentivize doing the things that would make me feel good later - a gift to future me, who I frequently neglect. So I thought maybe it was time I see where fit-tech could help me out. I missed, more than anything, the routine of getting from home to my trains to my office and back - knowing I’d have a good amount of outdoor time and get a few guaranteed steps in. Like when your mental health is already suffering, feeling like you’re also sprouting roots in your couch is a quick way to exacerbate things. And while everyone’s bodies and response to living in deeply traumatic times are different, I found myself feeling worse and worse the less I moved.
