And its all closed source and propretieary. So no one would know.

Damn, this day sounds awesome.

No one does. That’s where we’re at in tech now. It’s never anything any consumer wants, but it’s always what the surveillance industry wants. A recap of my day is fucking useless. I was there, for fuck sake!

I have a Garmin Instinct 3 but not familiar with gadget bridge. Need to look into that.

Is this even legal in the eu?

How in the world is the watch going to make my sleep worse? Yeah maybe the first week when I had to get used to something being strapped to my wrist. But that’s no different from when I slept with my old Cassio. The watch has bed time reminders that prompt me to go to bed, which has only helped me be more consistent with my sleep. It also alerted me that I was having sleep apnea and prompted me to get a proper test which has only helped me get better sleep. the watch doesn’t magically make my sleep better though, it just tracks my sleep and lets me know when there’s problems. In ways that I can’t do when I’m ya know… asleep.

You’ve never seen tracking heart rate or exertion be useful while exercising? Really?

Yeah no kidding. My calculator watch still works to this day. I did have one of those moments where a math teacher said the classic "you won't have a calculator in your pocket" and I though that's right, I have one on my wrist.

I have a fenix 6 and honestly it's totally worth it. I plan to actually get whatever the new one is so I can ditch having a phone all the time. (call/sms/sat/gps)

That tells you a lot

There are tons of stories from people who report the sleep tracking causes them unneeded stress and worsens their sleep. That’s if they realize it’s happening. Plenty more never make the connection.

The watch has bed time reminders

Your $1 casio also has the ability to set an alarm

sleep apnea

lets me know when there’s problems

Anxiety based marketing. Yes, if you were previously not mindful of your health and the watch was the catylist that got you to seek treatment, that’s genuinely great.

Everyone should however be familiarizing themselves with the symptoms of common preventible illnesses, including the vast majority of which the watch doesn’t track and has no way of alerting you to. Typically you want to pursue medical assistance when you encounter some type of problem, and not just spend oodles on consumer tech because a mega corporation realized they can rake in cash by larping as a preventative diagnostic.

You’ve never seen tracking heart rate or exertion be useful while exercising?

Correct. “Heart rate zone” is a fundamentally worthless metric. It was contrived as an excuse to sell trackers. Even if it were 100% accurate there is literally no benefit to knowing or considering that information during or after your workout. I mention accuracy because there are plenty of examples of people wearing two different brands during the exact same workout and getting wildly different results, just so you know.

If you want to monitor your exertion you just use your breathing. Forced to slow down due to breathing = max, breathing challenged but sustanable (barely possible, but possible, to have a conversation) = mid, sustainable breathing and could easily have a conversation = min. Totally free and you can even do interval training with that same casio if you so desired

No thanks

From Casio even in 1984, with TOUCHSCREEN where you could write the numbers to calculate, Casio AT-552 Janus or the TC600 from 1980 with touchscreen keyboard. Way ahead of their time.

wow... before I was even born lol

You have to forward this to seven people for it to be true.

Who is dumb enough to think they want or need this? We’re all aware that this is just more data collection, right?

Ideal day tbh

I don't need recaps; I was literally there.

Its not doing anything with my day. Don't have one, don't want one.

We all are

You will once you've got permanent brain fog from super Covid.

You would be surprised. Perhaps astonished. Certainly dismayed.

It will be with the right bribes

On your LG TV, yes.

"I have nothing to hide, not even the private conversation happening next to me"

Oh great, now we're all going to have to buy voice modulators that interject some kind of patterned noise that scrambles audio recording. Just like those masks that interfere with video.

The privacy arms race has begun.

In a decade we'll all be wearing privacy helmets.

Wait, that sounds kind of cool actually.

Apple seems really focused on preventing the audio from making it off the device.

Huh? That tiny fucker uses AI to process the conversations itself?! How?

Isn't that going to drain the battery and heat up the thibg to high hells? I'm assuming it's either that or the output will be crap.

/google anything like how to partition a drive in Linux/

/bunch of minutes-long videos appear/

nah. we will cry when when see how many humans think this is cool

All these years we have been watching TV, and now the tables have turned. The TVs are watching us.

Daft punk was ahead of their time

Do you ever leave your house? If so then yes this does directly affect you, other people wear them and will do so around you.

09:05:47: You lifted the lid of the toilet   
09:05:49: You dropped your shorts and underpants   
09:06:04: Your butt cheeks made contact with the toilet seat   
09:06:07: You activated your iPhone   
09:06:09: You opened ShitTok on your iPhone   
09:06:15: You realised that nothing was forthcoming and that there must be a clog in your colon   
09:06:23: You began straining   
09:06:24: You exclaimed: "Arrrrgh, shift you nobbly bastard!"   
09:06:40: Your pulse and blood pressure reached dangerously elevated levels   
09:06:44: The crap clog finally passed your sphincter   
09:06:45: The 'bomb bay doors opened' and a satisfying torrent of last night's now-digested burrito gushed out   
09:06:51: The flow of yesterday's bean, cheese, and pork 'al pastor' eases     
09:06:55: You sighed with relief and reached for the TP     

Who wouldn't want that in their life?

3 seconds of conversation with the cashier isn't much of a recap of my day.

Its gonna keep a scoreboard of how much you crank your hog

I wonder what goes through these designers' minds

They're so fucking desperate to find any use of this technology...

Since we're headed headfirst for a dystopian world of social credid and whatnot, I'm gonna invest in sarcasm.

Huuuuuuuuumaaaan !!!
