I endured the Apple Watch for four months
Summary
The author documents a four-month experience wearing an Apple Watch, weighing its practical benefits against discomfort and the broader issue of data collection. The piece argues that biometric data and marketing of health metrics outweigh real-world value for many users, and reflects on how the device becomes a persistent nuisance rather than a useful tool. It ultimately questions the point of constant monitoring and suggests considering less intrusive alternatives.
