ironymaideni won a raffle at work (it's "Heart Month" and we had a fundraiser for the American Heart Association going) and ended up with a fitbit.
a thing i miss from my old phone was that it randomly had a step tracker and a heart-rate sensor; i kind of liked to be able to look back at my steps taken and say things like "that was the Women's March" or "that was Disney World". also that i beat the default step count even on my laziest days because dog.
between that and some vague nostalgia for wearing a wristwatch, i am giving the thing a try even though i don't like its location-awareness. so far i'm not too impressed - i tried to change the clock face before i went on the first walk of the morning and it didn't fully take; apparently that put the thing in a bad state and it did not register the walk at all. not cool. (also, according to jewelry sizing i have unusually trim wrists but according to fitbit i am a giant?)
on the other hand, i use timers to get me through my wake-up routine. if i don't have a timer on the shower i will zone out under the water and not know if i have used the soap without examining the state of the bar. having a waterproof timer on my wrist, that's nice.
