What Surprisingly Happens When You Become a New Apple Watch Owner

I finally purchased a new Apple Watch for the security of knowing if I fall, and cannot respond, I have three emergency contacts and 911 it can call. It was a birthday gift to myself for peace of mind.

What I didn’t anticipate was that the Apple Watch would control  my life.

I truly enjoy exercising and exercise eight hours a week, including yoga, Pilates, and physical therapy. The Apple Watch monitors your exercise. Of course, I now exercise more. It tells me to stand if I’ve been sitting too long. I want a good step score so I go on the treadmill more. When I travel, I am shocked how many miles a day I walk. It was never brought to my attention before. Daily.  More than daily.

The best score I want is in my favorite activity, sleep.  The reason I am writing this blog post is because I finally met my goal of a 99 score in sleep. Now I really needed to know what each sleep stage meant. So, of course I asked ChatGPT.  The first thing it responded with was something about an Apple Watch so it must be a very high search when people first get an Apple Watch. Who knew to watch for rem, core and deep sleep comparisons.

 I do recommend that you get an Apple Watch. I really believe it has improved my daily life. I just did not expect to write a blog post that was a positive advertisement for the purchase of an Apple Watch.

If you are in an adult child, buy one for your parent for their birthday or a holiday. Be sure to show them how it works.

However, there is so much to learn, now I have signed up for a free class at Apple. Two friends who also recently got Apple Watches are joining me. When I mentioned it to additional friends who also recently got an Apple Watch I found out they went to the beginner class and are now going to the advanced class. It sounds like a new club I have joined. 

The Apple Watch gives us another unanticipated activity to add to our busy retirement schedules with

Joy,
