And what you are doing, whether standing or sitting or whatever. Very creepy when you think about it.

I resisted getting one, at first. Then I realized the health benefits, measuring heart rate, EKG, blood oxygen, etc. There are a few times when I was hammering with tools and the watch pulsed and stated "It looks like you fell, are you ok?". And if I didn't respond it was set to dial 911 for help. I quickly told it I'm ok, and pressed "I didn't fall". A couple other times I did fall buy said I'm okay. One time it actually called 911 and I apologized to the dispatcher that it was an erroneous call. When I do strenuous activities it warns me that my heart rate is too high, a couple other times while sleeping it woke me and said my heart rate was too low. Very valuable device for me.

Then there are other benefits like when I'm driving and can take calls on my watch without having to fumble for the iPhone. Nice device.

I have an Apple watch. It definitely comes in handy for a lot of things. Although, it doesn’t accurately track all of my trips up a flight of stairs. I still think it’s ability to track whether I am sitting or standing or whatever is creepy.
