I make absolutely zero apologies for the fact that the rings on my Watch helped me lose 40 pounds last year. Sure, I’m gaming myself, but good grief.

Good for you and congratulations, but it was most likely due to your own hard work along with dietary adjustment, so you need not diminish your accomplishment by giving a device as much credit as you give yourself. The Watch really didn't do anything but keep time; you yourself did everything and filled the time.
That guy who is really organised, isn't degrading his organisational skills by using a calendar.

Get a grip jeez.

Comparing egotistical obsession to neatness and an Apple Watch gathering absurdly detailed metrics in a running application to a calendar is both false analogy and oversimplification. The last part is ad hominem attack.
