I am the opposite. I am looking to switch back to a mechanical watch. Frankly the Apple Watch is a disaster in terms of product management. It offers too much useless functionality e.g. apps (ridiculously slow), the important functionality is crippled e.g. Health and areas are poorly designed e.g. complications. And after the year of having it I have all this Activity/Health data and wondering what the point of it is. I can't use it for anything. Unless Apple has something magical up their sleeve to dramatically improve the performance of iOS I don't understand why they bothered to bring full blown apps across. It's always going to be too slow to be useful. |

This data has been very useful for me. It's not saving my life or effecting my medical care but it has helped me lose weight consistently for the first time in my adult life. I started losing weight slowly last year and managed to continue that trend. I owned the Apple watch for about 4 months before selling it as I didn't like being 'connected' all the time. Looking back at the data recently though I noticed that during those Apple Watch months I lost weight at a much more rapid rate. I believe this is because of the motivational aspect of the 'activity' app. I enjoyed trying to meet my daily goals and increasing those every few weeks. I noticed things slowed down again after I sold the Watch. I recently purchased it again to see if I could repeat that impact. For someone like myself who seriously lacks motivation this kind of tracking is incredibly valuable.
