My son bought me the watch and I wear this watch constantly and in the shower and charge it up once a day. It is my life line!!

I upgraded mine a couple years ago, and gave my older brother my old one. He has fallen in love with it, and he is not a geek. It is also very useful for tracking how far you walk, reminding you to get up occasionally and you can tell it to remind you when you need to take you medication. If you have heart issues, it can detect abnormal heart beats and report it. And on and on. It is amazing. I know they are working on non-poke blood sugar monitoring, and hopefully will have it in next years update, which will be fantastic for people like me with diabetes. It will remind you to take your meds (metformin or insulin) and warn when your blood sugar is out side of acceptable ranges.
It's an incredible time to be alive!
