    I really had this moment of clarity when I realized that my smartwatch was sending data to the manufacturer who was sending it to advertisers who are then selling it to health insurance agencies, which may affect me in ways I couldn’t imagine.

    Now I’m more than happy just wearing a G-Shock every day.

      When I saw a Fitbit used to solve a murder case and how much data it vomited everywhere… good lord. I knew it was bad but not that bad.

      Yeah, I realised this when I was younger with a smartwatch, because it required a phone number, email and for you to be over 18 to use it.

      Honestly waiting for the new Pebble stuff to come out.
