Those that are able to and want to lose weight may find the watch helpful in tracking your efforts. You don't think the watch will help because you simply hate the watch.
You make these incredibly stupid and patently absurd generalities. While some try a gym and don't presist, there are large numbers of people who try it, love it, continue to go and improve their health. Same with the watch. Why do you keep on making up stuff just to bash the watch?
So what? It proves nothing. What he does with his body and his life in no way affects the features of the watch. Look at how much you hate the watch and literally make up stuff to continue to hate it and bash it. Does your attitude affect how you live your life, your family, and you job? It must given what you say about Ive.
Frosty just loves to jump into Apple Watch threads to pan the watch because... well, because. He's certainly entitled to his opinions, but I think that he doth protest too much. It's as if he can't accept the fact that some of us AW owners really are happy with our purchases, gen 1 limitations notwithstanding.
As for fitness and activity, I've stopped taking elevators and have been using the stairs at work since I got my AW. You can argue that I'm subconsciously trying to justify the expense, but whatever the reason, it's changed my behavior, and I'm glad for it. The stand notifications are also helping, because my work is largely sedentary. Of course, I could do these things without an app or device, but I wouldn't, so the AW is making a difference. For me.
