I’ve been feeling a little squeamish about this because I feel like I’m losing out on a bunch of fitness stuff but today reminded me that I literally hiked and mountain biked for years with no Apple Watch.

You can even track workouts in Apple‘s Fitness app now without a watch, which is wild. You lose heart rate and effort but that’s basically it! The map and everything are still there.

I also forgot that Pedometer++ doesn’t require a watch, and has widgets!

Apple Watch who?

@developerjustin I had the galaxy watch and honestly when I wear it now I'm more annoyed than anything else. I love my dumb little casio. Not *everything* has to be tracked and optimized.

@developerjustin also I realized I had total mental load burnout from having to charge multiple devices. I also got my ipad classic out and the battery lasts at least a week. My watch couldn't last 48h (but I used it as a sleep tracker and that pumped a lot of energy). I long for the days I could go to bed without having to worry about battery levels.

@catbrainz @developerjustin I use my phone as a “nightstand alarm clock” which I printed the shell and it helps I don’t have to “remember” but just got used to charging it that way

@vikonava @developerjustin I use mine as an alarm too and it still annoys me to charge it every night 😅 but I'm old enough to remember phones that lasted a week before needing to be charged.

@catbrainz @developerjustin maybe I didn’t explain it well but here is a picture of my setup as an alarm clock 🤣 this is the reason I never forget
