Wearable Devices
Given that many of us here may be fans of other types of electronic gadgets beyond ereaders, I was wondering how many of us wear our devices. Do you use a wearable device, for fitness or otherwise? Please share!
I have a Garmin Vivofit. I chose this one mainly because it uses a battery instead of needing to be charged, and because it displays time so I don't need to wear a watch. I like it even more that I thought I would. The step challenges online motivate me to try to fit more steps into a week so that I can "graduate" to a higher weekly challenge. It does monitor sleep, but besides logging total weekly sleep time, I don't find that feature particularly useful. It keeps track of total daily calories expended which is very helpful in trying to lose weight, but works much better for walking and running than for other types of exercise. I generally don't use the heart rate strap as it is uncomfortable.
