Actively tracking some of these quantities and developing new habits with them in mind has certainly helped me on my way to having lost 40 lbs (and counting!) since January and significantly improved my heart health, something that’s important to me given a family history of serious heart problems.
Got a tip for us?

I had that idea too, awhile back. I was kind of surprised that the current generation didn’t have an IR temperature measuring ability like the ones I have seen hospitals use, where they place the device near your ear and get a quick temp reading. Let’s hope next time around that feature gets integrated. Body temp is even more at the forefront now for monitoring possible COVID-19 infection. I wonder if they could somehow incorporate sensors to act as additional leads for the watch EKG function.

Heart rate target is one of the core components of a good cardio workout. That rate is dependent on age, weight, and other factors. Knowing your desired target and being able to monitor for it, then keeping it there for a period of time will make your workouts more efficient.
And no, we don’t need to raise taxes. We need the government to quit wasting so much of the taxes we already pay.

An ambient light sensor? I thought of a joke, but...
Oh, heck, someone has probably already said it, but: Will it check for brains? If you can see light through the ears, um... Well, I didn't say it was a good joke...

HAH! I remember a not too particularly bright individual who was furious with his iPod. It never stayed on a song when he was running. Um... It's a 'feature'. You *can* turn it off...

Like the COVID-19 virus.
They don’t struggle to breathe—but COVID-19 is starving them of oxygen
One alarming symptom robs many patients of blood oxygen well before they notice. Doctors are racing to understand it.
