Wearables

Nicolas Solerieu in On wearables:

The marketing is a mishmash of sport, lifestyle, health value propositions fading in a goodness mush, rarely delivering much beyond a wrist-mounted stream of numbers.

Couldn't agree more. After a few years of wearing my sports watch 24/7, I realised that the data and the way it was presented did my head in, and had no positive effect on my health and fitness. For the past couple of years I've worn an analogue watch, only switching to my sports watch to track my actual workouts.
