Wearing an Apple Watch on the Ankle? New Report Explains the Trend

[dontwalkhand]

The article literally tells you its a trend among fitness people but something tells me you don't know many black people and your prejudicious view of black people is not reality.

Would you look at those saggy pants.

Can’t even see the pants in the picture so your point is moot.

I take a Rumble Boxing class every now and then because of where the watch sits on my wrist it's ALWAYS paused mid-workout by the glove. I've work my watch using the sport loop on my ankle because of this and it works like a charm.

My boxing gloves did the same. I turned the watch around so the crown is on the left side of the case (when worn on the left wrist) and that works fine. There's a setting somewhere to tell the watch what side the crown is on.

Yep, call me apathetic because I don’t really care about your ridiculous off-topic ranting. I don’t need a break, I’m quite fine. You keep replying and getting flustered and I’ll keep enjoying the good laugh you’re giving me! 😂

LOL, you are very well adapted to deflecting the conversation. The entire point of this discussion has been you trying to say you believe something is off-topic and others telling you they disagree. Me specifically, I am telling you that you are saying the issues I have brought up with offensive (intentionally or not) comments made are very much NOT off topic.

I have also been clear, calm, and respectful in my response while leaving space for other people to have opinions and thoughts, including you.

You are not providing the same space to allow others to have opinions, nor engaging with them more than to be dismissive and trite.

You are dreaming up a world that doesn't exist. I am not getting flustered at all. But if your only reason to engage is to gain humor, then I suppose there is nothing for us to continue to talk about. Very importantly, because believing that hurting others is not something that is trivial or humorous, we obviously have very different life perspectives and so have nothing else to talk about.

Ahahah I’m seeing how many paragraphs I can make you write. And it’s working. My only disappointment is that you stopped overusing the word “problematic.” Keep spending your time arguing on an anonymous forum. Your tears of frustration are making me hard. 🤣. P.s. the original poster never brought up race! Keep crying!

I believe in honest communication as a way to move our humanity forward. It is ok if you are making a joke of it, each person does things for their own reasons. It doesn't make me stop believing or trying. So "spending time" for me is investing in a future I wish can exist, and well worth it. If you don't believe and stand for things, I don't think life can have nearly as much meaning.

Not using problematic was only problematic because my glass-half-full personality means that I try and be effective in my communication, believing that people will want to TRY and understand different points of view instead of just belittle, tease, etc... and so I didn't use it to try and help the conversation. If it actually helps, I have no problem using it!

I am not actually crying, but I don't think you meant that. I believe you meant that I should keep posting in a way that disagrees with you. Despite my optimism, anytime I try and show how my point and your point are at odds with each other, rather than engaging you just deflect or name-call. But from your previous posts it doesn't sound like you were ever trying to actually "converse", and in fact just here for the entertainment of teasing and provoking people. With that being the case, I suppose our conversation comes to a natural end. I care about talking with people who want to exchange ideas and move the human race forward, and thought maybe this conversation might be able to eventually get there. But from your perspective this is just an amusing way to spend time on an internet forum. So I guess we part ways.

Awww no don’t leave yet, I’m just starting to climax! Well, if you gotta go, I’ll say goodbye to you with words from the great Motley Crue: “Girl, don’t go away mad. Girl, just go away!” Sending you a virtual tissue for those tears.

No tears, just more disappointment in the state of our culture and society as a whole. I believe based on previous interactions that you are looking for "the last word" and often this is tied to self esteem. I care about all people, even people I don't like or don't agree with. To that end, I will let you respond to this to fulfill that need and I won't respond anymore, no matter what you say. It will feel good for you and it won't matter to me because none of my worth is tied to this, only my personal desire to make a difference in the world and to do my part to make the world into the place I wish it to be. (in case it was vague, that MY reference and instead of Motley Crue, it was Gandhi)

Seems like you want to get “the last word” yourself! Awww only one paragraph? Try harder! And use the word “problematic” more often. Did I mention the original poster never mentioned race? 😂

This makes me sad. And happy as well. Awkward.

Doing my best to wear Apple Watch as least often as possible.
Workouts - yep. Everything else not so much. Was getting a rash on my wrist, and frankly was just overwhelmed with notifications. Notifications are totally off now, and I’m just tracking activity.

Agreed to the notifications hassle… they are aggressive as f on the Apple Watch, the tapping is too strong and invasive.

If the default haptic strength was “middle” I would go down two levels below at least. And all normal notifications would be super light except immediate watch functions like a timer going off.

Reduced interruptions focus mode has been a godsend in my opinion generally speaking.
