Robot's Control Panel? (Explore)

It could be but it's not.

 

It's my new fitness watch.

 

Like many others, we have gained a few "pandemic pounds" we need to get rid of. We thought fitness watches might provide some motivation to get off the couch more often. My wife did the research and our son (the resident techie) helped us figure them out.

 

It incorporates more features than I can understand but learning how to use it has been a fun project.

 

It even vibrates every hour to suggest I get up and move around. It's surprising how quickly a sedentary hour passes these days.

 

Tracking my activities (steps taken, flights of stairs climbed, kilometres cycled or walked, etc.) really has provided motivation to be more active. It has been too easy to spend time indoors (and close to the refrigerator).

 

I know... we shouldn't need another digital assistant to get us off the couch, but so far this gadget has given us the boost we needed.
