Well I'm a statistics nerd, so I like all the sensors on the watch for sleep and health tracking. I can see exactly how long I slept in each phase, track my snoring, stress levels, muscle mass, body fat, and body water; compare calories burned to calories consumed, make sure my heart is being correctly with the ECG, check my pulse and blood pressure. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's basically like having a PipBoy IRL (it even has the light!). And to me that's really fucking cool. Only feature missing is VATS.
Sounds like a tamagotchi, but for keeping yourself alive :)
How does it track calories consumed? Or isthat something you do seperately?
Yeah I have to enter the food I eat manually. But it's not difficult cause all I have to do is either scan the barcode or take a picture of my meal and then quickly verify that it identified everything correctly.
And FWIW I only log my meals when I'm trying to lose weight. Which is right now.
I tried to do that some time ago, but got bored of weighing everything. Is taking a picture generally enough to estimate weights and stuff? I remember it made a lot of difference if a salad has an oil dressing for example, or how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich.
Yeah I'm not that precise. Just like when cooking, I don't weigh anything. I use my experience to make a rough estimate.
I'm confident that getting close enough with my measurements (maybe even overestimating a bit) because my weight loss currently tracks with what I'm expecting to lose, given what I'm eating (aimed to lose a pound per week, currently losing ~1.3lb). And close enough is good enough for me.
