From Rolex to Breitling: The 5 Best Luxury Steel Sport Watches of 2020 - Robb Report

wristwatch.indah.link

For all the variety that characterizes the Swiss watch industry, a single, mighty niche dominates sales (and headlines): steel sport watches.

The hoopla over sport models housed in the humble, workaday metal stems, no doubt, from the stratospheric secondary market prices associated with category killers like the Patek Philippe Nautilus and practically any professional model by Rolex (but especially the Submariner and Daytona). A fair degree of nostalgia is also at play: Today’s most sought-after steel sport watches trace their roots to the late 1960s and ’70s, and often feature retro detailing, such as integrated bracelets, that make collectors go wild.

The style is so popular that even haute horlogerie brands have dipped their toes in the arena (here’s looking at you, Lange). In other words, the universe of steel sport wristwatches is expanding by the day. Below, we present a highly subjective, eminently debatable list of the year’s top five steel sport watch introductions. Caveat: We can’t promise they’re available.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date Ref. 126610LV “Kermit”

Rolex didn’t invent the luxury steel sport watch (that distinction belongs to Audemars Piguet), but it pretty much owns the category today, as made clear by the frenzy of news coverage that followed the brand’s release of 2020 novelties on the last day of August. Included in the slew of incremental dial updates and bracelet changes was the new Submariner Date, in a slightly enlarged 41 mm steel case housing, for the first time in 32 years, a new movement, caliber 3235 (which first appeared on the Pearlmaster 39 in 2015). In keeping with the watch world’s embrace of all things green, the “Kermit” with a green Cerachrom bezel and black dial, has emerged as a collector favorite. The watch’s retail price is $9,550, but don’t get excited — it’s virtually unavailable through primary channels, so you’ll need to take your chances (and up your budget) on the secondary market.

Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chronograph

Time-only watches are nice, but if you’re looking for a true sports watch, it has to be a chronograph. Chopard acknowledged as much this fall when it updated its 1-year-old Alpine Eagle collection to include a 44 mm XL Flyback Chronograph. Encased in the brand’s proprietary Lucent Steel A223, the $19,200 timepiece comes on an integrated bracelet, evoking the retro styling of the 1980 St. Moritz watch that inspired it. The model’s chronometer-certified automatic 03.05-C movement has a flyback feature, and operates on an entirely integrated column-wheel system, aka the gold standard for chronographs.

Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Rainbow

At the height of the year’s first lockdown, in mid-April, Breitling jazzed up an otherwise gloomy spring with a boutique-only limited edition of its new Superocean Heritage ’57 model in a just-right-for-the-times rainbow execution. The model, which was unveiled at the company’s first-ever webcast, retails for $4,520 on a leather strap and $5,025 on a steel bracelet. Its bidirectional concave stainless steel bezel, black ceramic bezel ring and black dial are the perfect complements to its festive dial, which features Super-LumiNova luminescent hour markers, hour and minute hands in a kaleidoscopic range of hues.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic

Bulgari finally gave watchmaking fans what they’d long been clamoring for in January, when it debuted its 2020 collection in Dubai: a steel version of its sought-after Octo Finissimo model, widely considered to be one of the finest creations in contemporary watchmaking history. Known for its ultra-slender styling (the watch comes in a 40 mm extra-thin satin-polished stainless steel case that measures just 6.40 mm thick), the $11,900 automatic model is, without question, a modern heirloom in the making.

Piaget Polo S Limited Edition

Known as the luxury watch of the 1980s, the Polo by Piaget doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. But with the introduction earlier this year of the Polo S limited edition, the watchmaker has reminded watch lovers of its authentic claims to sport watch history. The model’s 42 mm steel case frames a green guilloche PVD dial with luminescent hour-markers in rose gold. Combined with the Manufacture Piaget 1110P automatic mechanical movement that powers the timepiece, this chic wristwatch, which retails for $12,200, promises to make both men and women green with envy.

‘OnePlus Band’ fitness tracker reportedly arriving ahead of smartwatch - 9to5Google

wristwatch.indah.link

OnePlus fans have been demanding a smartwatch from the company for years now, and 2021 will be the year that finally delivers it. Before that happens, though, the “OnePlus Band” fitness tracker is reportedly set to debut.

The folks over at Android Central report that sometime in Q1 2021, OnePlus will release a fitness tracker that will be called the “OnePlus Band.” This is apparently a separate device from the company’s upcoming smartwatch offering a fitness-focused, barebones experience.

This “OnePlus Band” is a competitor to the Xiaomi Mi Band series which we’ve covered previously. Our Damien Wilde called the most recent Xiaomi Mi Band 5 a “winning formula” that delivers good bit of functionality for a very low price. OnePlus’ fitness tracker will apparently try to use that same formula with a price point around $40 or so while using an OLED display, offering water resistance, and multi-day battery life while being able to track basic fitness stats.

It’s unclear if this means the fitness tracker and smartwatch will be announced by OnePlus around the same time, but sensibly, this fitness tracker will reportedly debut in India first before heading to other regions. The report claims that a January or February launch is possible based on the received information, implying that the fitness tracker could arrive well ahead of the OnePlus 9 launch event.

Best smartwatches for 2021 - CNET

wristwatch.indah.link

If you're looking for your first smartwatch or replacing an old one, there are a lot of factors to consider when trying to figure out the best smartwatch for your needs -- especially since it will probably be strapped to your wrist 24/7. You'll want to decide on your preferred shape for the watch face, whether you want a model with a fitness emphasis versus other smart features and which operating system you want (iOS versus Android).

But that just scratches the surface. A smartwatch should be able to offer everything from heart-rate monitoring and activity tracking to GPS tracking and smart notifications. Some smartwatches can even be used for contactless payment. They should all work seamlessly with smartphone notifications: Both Android and iPhone users should be able to make the most of their device.

We've rounded up six of the best smartwatches based on function, price and compatibility to help you decide which one is right for you.

Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET

The Apple Watch Series 6 may be the most expensive one on our list, but it's the gold standard when it comes to smartwatches. It has all the smartwatch features we loved about its predecessors plus a few new perks like a brighter alway-on display and a new sensor that measures blood oxygen levels. It's now also the only Apple smartwatch with an electrocardiogram (also called ECG or EKG) app. 

The biggest downsides to the Apple Watch: It's iPhone-compatible only, and it has shorter battery life than most of its competitors. Read our Apple Watch Series 6 review.

If you've never owned an Apple Watch, this is the one to get. The Apple Watch SE is a cheaper alternative to the Series 6 with a lot of the same great features plus a slightly longer battery life. Aside from the extra health sensors (ECG and SpO2), the most notable difference between the two is that the SE doesn't have an always-on display. But you probably won't miss it if you've never had this feature. Read our Apple Watch SE review.

Angela Lang/CNET

The Versa 3 is compatible with both iOS and Android phones and lets you choose between Alexa or Google Assistant as your go-to voice assistant. It doesn't offer all the apps and smart features as some of its competitors, but it's a well-rounded smartwatch with plenty of health and fitness features to keep you on track like onboard GPS and live heart rate zone notifications. It's the best sleep tracker on this list and even gives you a breakout of your SpO2 and body temperature data overnight (Fitbit Premium users). Battery life is also better than most: I got about four full days (and nights) of use with the screen always-on. Read more about the Fitbit Versa 3.

Angela Lang/CNET

The Active 2 offers almost all of the same features as the new Galaxy Watch 3, including an ECG app and fall detection, for about half the price. It's not as flashy as the Watch 3 with its physical rotating bezel and thicker frame, but it's less bulky and more comfortable to wear at night and during workouts. The Active 2 handles calls, texts and app notifications, and it offers Spotify support as well as all the basic fitness features you'll need. You can also get an LTE edition of this smartwatch, which can receive calls on the go without your Android phone nearby. Read our Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 review.

Lexy Savvides/CNET

If you're looking for a fitness-focused watch without too many distractions, that works with both Android and iOS, the Garmin Venu Sq is the watch to get. It has a built-in GPS, plenty of workout options to choose from, and lots of data about your workout like heart rate zones and running dynamics in the mobile app. 

It also doubles as a health tracker with high and low heart rate alerts, a comprehensive sleep analysis and SpO2 tracking. It measures blood oxygen levels on demand, or automatically throughout the day and night just like the latest Apple Watch Series 6, but for half the price. But you do compromise on design. The watch has a plastic frame, and the screen isn't as big or as vibrant as those on some of the other watches on the list. Read our Garmin Venu Sq review.

Vanessa Hand Orellana/CNET

If you're looking to get more value for money, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than the Amazfit Bip S. This $70 smartwatch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and checks most of the boxes when it comes to features: heart rate sensor, always-on display, built-in GPS tracking and the best battery life of any device on this list. You can get up to 40 days of use on a charge, or about two weeks of heavy usage with the GPS on and brightness up (a time that's still above and beyond the rest). 

You may have to make some sacrifices when it comes to aesthetics, though, as it has a plastic casing and the screen isn't as bright or responsive as the ones on the Galaxy and Apple Watch. Read more about the Amazfit Bip S.

Smartwatches finally made sense to me in 2020 - Tom's Guide

wristwatch.indah.link

I wasn't a big fan of smartwatches until this year. When it felt like I couldn't escape from technology in a year that has forced us to use it more than ever, a smartwatch has helped me create some much-needed distance.

While I have always appreciated the engineering of the best smartwatches like the Apple Watch 6 or Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3, I never saw much point in using one. Perhaps that's down to how they're sold heavily on their fitness and outdoor features — two things in which I don't have much interest.

I've spent a lot more time indoors than usual this year, as has been the case for a lot of people around the world. It's meant that what would have been pub meet-ups have turned into boozy Zoom calls, DnD sessions have moved to Roll20, and even post-work socializing with colleagues have had to take place over Google Meet.

This worked well enough for the first few weeks of the pandemic, but soon it began to wear on me. I wasn't the only one either, as tales of "Zoom fatigue" started popping up everywhere on social media. Even phone notifications started to grate on me eventually. It didn't matter whether it was a work email or a group chat meme, there were points I just couldn't bring myself to pick up my phone to check what had been sent, let alone reply to anything. 

That's when I encountered an apparently unsolvable problem. While I could have just turned my phone off to stem the tide of pings and beeps, doing so would have cut me off from my work and personal life entirely. It seemed there was no middle ground between a total comms blackout or being constantly bombarded with messages.

But wearing a smartwatch allowed me to break out of this pattern. Ironically, despite my lack of interest in sports-focused watches, the model I've ended up using is the very rugged Honor Watch GS Pro. This solid lump of plastic is designed for the most extreme sporting activities, with Honor pushing its military-grade resistance specs and GPS-enabled navigation. But it was the long 25-day battery life that convinced me to try out this smartwatch. While I've come to accept the nightly ritual of plugging in my iPhone, getting less than a day out of a smartwatch always seemed too burdensome.

The notifications system on the Watch GS Pro is very simple. Any time an approved app posts a notification, the watch vibrates, and raising your arm to check the display will show the notification's text as simple white letters on a black background with the app logo at the top for reference. Couple that with the Honor Watch's impressive Bluetooth range that spans multiple rooms, and I found a way around my two conflicting desires.

For many evenings in the latter part of this year, I have turned my phone to silent mode, and left it in another room while wearing the Watch GS Pro. That means the only way notifications come to me is as a vibration, rather than an identifiable alert tone that I could easily figure out the possible meaning of. 

You could achieve that part just by keeping your phone on silent in your pocket, but keeping my phone away from me means I have no way to instantly respond to my messages, which stops each alert feeling like something that needs to be answered right away. However, if I get curious or I'm expecting an important message, I can still check what's been going on via the watch while not feeling forced to reply by the mounting number of bubbles in my notification shade.

I can't say for sure if wearing a smartwatch this year helped maintain my mental wellbeing, but it certainly didn't hurt it. If you too are exhausted by your entire life being online but are struggling with the idea of a digital detox, I'd suggest picking up whichever smartwatch will work best for your budget and device of choice. This year has convinced me of their value beyond them simply being ways to measure your heart rate and more conveniently use NFC payments. Maybe my experience has convinced you, too.

Rolex watches and motorsport: Daytona 24 Hours, Mans, Formula 1 and more - EVO India

wristwatch.indah.link

Rolex has always been a torchbearer for endurance racing and has actively contributed and sponsored events at the Daytona International Speedway ever since it began in 1959. Rolex then became the official time keeping partner for the 24 Hours at Daytona in 1962. And to further increase its commitment to the sport, Rolex became the title sponsor of the race in 1992 and it has been called the Rolex 24 At Daytona ever since.

To commemorate its affiliation with the iconic track, Rolex inscribed ‘Daytona’ to the dial of the Oyster Perpetual chronograph a few years after its 1963 launch. And, the Oyster Perpetual Chronograph Daytona has been awarded to every winner of the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans ever since.

Interesting side note, Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona, which he got as a gift from his wife, was recently auctioned and was not only the most expensive Rolex but the most expensive watch to ever be sold at approximately Rs 130.8 crore ($17.8 million). Yes, you read that right.

The new Moto 360 smartwatch is back down to $130 - Android Police

The new Moto 360 smartwatch is back down to $130

A new Moto 360 smartwatch powered by Wear OS was released last year, manufactured by eBuyNow instead of Motorola. It was a decent watch, but the original price of $350 was absolutely too much money. Now you can get it for a significantly better price: $129.99.

The Moto 360 has a 1.2-inch 390x390 fully-circular AMOLED screen, 8GB of storage, 1GB RAM, a Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset, 3ATM water protection, NFC for Google Pay, and built-in GPS. There aren't many major drawbacks compared to other Wear OS watches, except the design is a bit bland. Mobvoi's TicWatch 3 Pro has Qualcomm's faster Wear 4100 chipset, but that watch costs $300.

The watch is back on sale at the link below. If you're on the fence, check out our review of the Moto 360 from earlier this year.

This deal was available for one day last month, but it's back. There's no mention of time restrictions this time, but the watch is backordered already, so if you're interested, get a move on.

The undeniably beautiful Moto 360 (Gen 3) smartwatch is cheaper than ever before - PhoneArena

wristwatch.indah.link

We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page.

You may not remember this now, but back when Wear OS made its debut under the old Android Wear label, Motorola was one of five major hardware manufacturers named by Google as key proponents of the software platform.
Fast forward more than six years, and HTC and LG seem to have given up on smartwatches altogether, while Samsung and Asus are betting on in-house operating systems instead of continuing to support Big G's losing horse. That leaves Motorola as the only member of the "original five" to still be selling a Wear OS-powered device in the aptly named Moto 360 (Gen 3).

Still available for $200 directly from Motorola, the third-gen Moto 360 has been further reduced to $129.99 at B&H Photo Video in both Steel Gray and Phantom Black hues. At this absolutely massive discount, it's pretty hard to argue with the value proposition of a beautiful Android and iOS-compatible smartwatch capable of continuously monitoring your heart rate, sleep quality, and outdoor workouts without having to connect to a nearby phone's GPS chip.

The somewhat bulky device combines premium stainless steel with titanium screws and scratch-resistant glass for a decidedly robust and eye-catching construction capable of surviving water immersion while including both leather and silicone bands in its standard retail box.

The Always-On 1.2-inch AMOLED display sports a resolution of 390 x 390 pixels, and in combination with a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, the gorgeous touchscreen is likely to drain your battery pretty fast. Still, Motorola is confident you'll be able to squeeze "up to two days" of continuous use out of that 355mAh cell, which is quite impressive by Wear OS standards, not to mention sub-$150 Wear OS standards.

On top of everything, the battery supports Quick Charge technology, going from 0 to 100 percent capacity in just 60 minutes, and the smartwatch also packs a more than respectable combination of 8 gigs of internal storage space and 1 gig of memory.

Gen 5 Fossil smartwatches drop to their lowest price ever at just $139 - Android Police

Gen 5 Fossil smartwatches drop to their lowest price ever at just $139

Fossil is known for making some of the best-looking smartwatches on the market, which also tend to offer a good compromise when it comes to features. The brand's fifth generation of timepieces is currently on sale, down to its lowest price ever at only $139, which is more than 50% off its initial retail price.

The watches are powered by Snapdragon's Wear 3100 chipset and feature NFC for Google Pay, a heart rate sensor, microphones, and speakers for Google Assistant, as well as some water resistance. Both Carlyle and Julianna styles are discounted, which represent the brand's male and female collections, respectively.

In his review, Corbin praised the watch's performance and battery life, but was disappointed by the software offering and the price. Thankfully, being half its initial price, the timepiece is now much more interesting than it was then.

How to use a wearable: tips to make the most of your smartwatch or fitness tracker - TechRadar

wristwatch.indah.link

You got a new fitness tracker or smartwatch for Christmas. Great! Now what? 

Whether you’ve got the latest Apple Watch Series 6, a Fitbit, an Oura ring or any other one of the best fitness trackers or best smartwatches, it’ll come with instructions – online or within a physical booklet – to help you get the device (and you) up and running. 

You’ll need to download the accompanying app, pair your device with your phone, charge it up and learn how to use the basic controls. Exactly how you do these things will vary from device to device and we recommend you follow the step-by-step instructions and do those first. 

However, most instructions get you started. But what comes next? Beyond the set-up steps, there are plenty of other things you need to know to get the most out of your new wearable so it can make a positive difference to your life and work for you, not against you. You don’t want it to be a negative drain, a waste of money or another present that gets stuffed in a drawer somewhere and forgotten about.

Our advice includes the importance of a comfy fit, habit-setting suggestions, why customization is worth it, tips about goals and much more.

Of course, every wearable device is different, as is every person who wears one. But these are our suggestions that should give most people a better chance of getting on well with their new wearable device.

1. Get the fit right

You just put it on and fasten it tightly, right? Sort of. It’s very easy to strap any wearable on and start using it. But it’s important to be mindful about how it fits. Are the buckles digging in? Is the material irritating you a little? If it doesn’t feel good now, you won’t want to wear it in future.

You want a ‘just right’ fit that isn’t so tight it leaves marks on your wrist, but is tight enough for the sensors to work properly. For example, most wearable devices these days have a heart rate sensor built-in to the back. For this to measure bloodflow accurately, it needs to be close to your skin. 

Play around with how tight you wear your new smartwatch or fitness tracker and, if you need to and it’s possible with your device, swap out the strap for one that’s a better fit or made from a more comfortable material.

2. Change the app dashboard

The key thing to remember when you get a new wearable device is: make it work for you. What we mean is there are plenty of devices that can track and do all kinds of things. Some people might love this and want to find out everything there is to know about their sleep, fitness levels, stress levels and much more. Others might just want to count their steps and take a look at heart rate data occasionally. Just because your device can do anything doesn’t mean you need to track or care about everything. This can lead to you becoming overwhelmed, focusing on numbers that don’t really matter to you and just extra stress you don’t need. 

A good place to start in defining what matters to you and what doesn’t is to customize the stats you see on your app’s dashboard. It’s not possible to do this for every wearable. But some, like Fitbit, allow you to ‘edit’ which stats are shown as you open up the app (take a look at the screenshots above). For example, with the Fitbit app you can customize your dashboard so you see nothing about calories. This is really handy if you want to feel generally fitter and healthier but don’t want to focus on weight loss – which can be problematic for some people.

One workout we do a lot at the moment is spinning. However, for the longest time it’s been the last activity in the exercise menu on our Fitbit Versa. Sure, we can just scroll down to select it. But it would only take a minute or two to move it to the top spot by using the Fitbit app, making things feel easier and more intuitive. If you have a wearable that has a screen and allows you to customize or make small tweaks to what you see on it, spend some time ensuring it’s exactly what you need – in the order you need it. 

This might not seem like a big deal. Who cares if you have to scroll two more times to find the workout you need? But it’s these small bits of friction that can make using tech feel more like a chore than a helping hand – especially if they all start to add up. So taking the time to change these settings now and make them more ‘you’ will help in the long-run.

4. Pick the right charging spot

We've tried a lot of wearables over the years. Sometimes we've had to take them off to charge them and immediately put them on as soon as the battery reaches 100 per cent. Others get left for days because we just keep forgetting amidst all the other jobs we need to do. Where you charge your wearable really matters. 

Under a desk where it’s out of sight, out of mind? No good. In the kitchen near the coffee machine so we see it every time we go to get another hit of caffeine? Perfect. This will be different for everyone, but again, the goal is to make using your new wearable device every day easy. Because the buzz of excitement you feel to wear it right now is unlikely to last.

5. Make putting it on a good habit

Picking the best charging place for your wearable device so you don’t forget about it is part of a wider consideration about turning your wearable and wearing it, checking it and charging it into behavior that feels natural and habitual. 

This is why we recommend borrowing some suggestions from habit-building theory to help. This doesn’t have to be confusing or extensive. Instead, we can pick and choose what we incorporate. 

Social scientist and researcher at Stanford University BJ Fogg is a big believer in the power of prompts. In his book, Tiny Habits, he explains that no behavior happens without a prompt. This is essentially something, anything, that tells you to do a thing now. He gives the example of a woman who would do the same morning routine, then write her priorities on a post-it note. 

Prompts can be physical, like that example, maybe you could put a Post-it saying “Fitbit” next to your coffee machine or on your mirror? Or what’s known as a context prompt, this is when you’re prompted to do something because you associate it with something else – in the example above, we had begun to associate making a coffee with strapping my tracker on.

Other prompts that Fogg recommends are: sending yourself a text message, writing on your bathroom mirror, setting an alarm with your voice assistant and sticking a reminder on your fridge. All of these could work well when it comes to prompting yourself to put on your new tracker.

The good news is, this simple prompt for one simple behavior can have a positive effect on other behaviors. Fogg writes: “what had started with one Post-it turned into a productivity avalanche.”

6. Connect with other apps and services

Most wearables can do a lot, but they can’t tell you everything there is to know about your health and fitness. For example, many can track your activity and heart rate levels. But few have menstrual tracking features that are as good as apps like Clue and Glow. What’s more, some have nutritional tracking databases, but not many are as extensive as MyFitnessPal. That means you might want to sync up the apps you already use and love with your new wearable and its app. Simply put, you’ll want to get your apps to talk to each other so you can get more from each of them – and find out more about yourself. 

The way to do this is different for every wearable, but most have a section in the settings called ‘apps’ or ‘connections’. There’s usually a list of supported apps here and you can select which one you’d like to give permission to access your health and fitness data. 

This is also a good way of revoking access to apps you don’t want to access your health and fitness data. On that point, watch out for any apps trying to seek permission to access data that they just don’t need. Always question whether an app really needs to know your step count or your location. If it's not obvious why – a health app or taxi app, for example – then don't allow it.

7. Find the notification settings that work for you

If you have a wearable with a screen then chances are you can have notifications from your phone also sent to your wrist. Some devices can only notify you of texts and calls. Others can send any app notification, including WhatsApp, email or Ring notifications, sent to the screen. 

The question is: is this a good idea or a shortcut to panic? The answer is: it all depends on you. Personally, we like to have any notification that pops up on our phone screen to appear on the wearable too. Why this is good for us and our productivity is because of something called in-phone interruptions. This is the idea that if we look at our phones for one thing, there’s a good chance we’ll get distracted by something else. So the reason you looked in the first place takes much longer – and can often be forgotten completely! 

But just because this works for me doesn’t mean it’s right for you. We know some people find sending all of their notifications to their wrists really panic-inducing and would instead like to keep it as a message-free space. Settings to turn them on, off or customize them are within your wearable’s app and tend to be easy to toggle on and off, so we'd suggest trialing them to see what you think.

8. Set your goals

If you have a fitness tracker because there’s something specific you want to do and it'll help you, which most of the time there is, take advantage of the tracker’s goal-setting feature. This could be setting a step goal for the day or, if you’re training for something and have a device built for fitness, particular distance or time goals. If you want to increase your fitness generally, you might want to set a goal of just five days of exercise a week, regardless of what it is. 

We like to use wearables even when we don’t have a super specific goal in mind, but there’ll always be something we're interested in hitting – eight hours sleep, 8,000 steps, something like that. The key for us over the years has been to focus on one thing at a time. Our wearable tech can track a lot of things, but it can perform better when we’ve got one clear goal at once. 

This is also the basic premise of Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism. The idea is that, to achieve more, we should pursue less stuff and do it better. There’s a lot more to McKeown’s essentialist view of life, but a few key things for us to remember when it comes to fitness trackers is: choose what to pay attention to (don’t feel like you have to do everything), remove obstacles to make your goals easier and experience joy in the journey of getting things done. 

This sounds good in theory, but what does it look like in practice? To us, it’s choosing one goal to set and think about at a time, editing an app’s home screen so what ww want to focus on is there and what we don’t isn’t. It’s also about making the customizations to the app and wearable screen mentioned above – we want to remove obstacles. Finally, experiencing joy for us comes with less pressure and more games, fun badges and, importantly, ways to switch off when we need to – which we'll come to soon.

9. Take it off (yes, really)

A lot of the best fitness trackers these days are designed for 24/7 wear – you just need to take them off every couple of days or every week to charge them up for a few hours. That’s why it might seem like this advice is a bit weird – especially for a tech site. But it’s important to go without your tracker now and again for a few important reasons. 

The first reason is it’ll lessen the chances your skin will be irritated if you give it a break every so often. Most wearables are specially designed to not cause irritation – whether that’s the strap or the body of the watch or wearable that sits flush to your wrist – but we've noticed we can experience some mild irritation and itching. Especially with waterproof wearables that we wear in the shower – our thinking is that soap likely gets caught behind it.

The second reason is it’ll lessen the chances that you become too reliant on your wearable. Wait a minute. Didn’t we just cover how to create habits with putting on your wearable? Absolutely. But there’s a balance here. The majority of people don’t have issues with becoming too hyper-focused on their wearables and the data they collect, but there are cases of people becoming obsessed with sleep data (researchers have called this orthosomnia), as well as others having eating disorders triggered or exacerbated by the calorie and activity data that’s so easily accessible.

When we wrote about the possible link between disordered eating and fitness trackers and wearables, Dr Carolyn Plateau, a lecturer in psychology at Loughborough University, recommended making peace with taking it off now and again. Maybe you make this regular. Like every Sunday you’ll leave it off or you realize you don’t need to wear it at night. It doesn’t matter when you choose, it’s just about proving you could wear it all the time, but you don’t need to.

10. Ask yourself: what's your why?

When we spoke to Dr Carolyn Plateau she told us people are less likely to have problematic relationships with devices when they're used to improve general wellbeing and to read a positive goal rather than one that feels more negative, i.e. losing weight. If you feel like you need to lose weight and have support and a healthy mindset, we’re not stopping you. But this is about doing what’s right for you, choosing things that'll work in the long-run and not triggering bigger problems. So it’s worth considering your why from the get-go.

With all the focus here on goal-setting and habit-building, it’s also worth mentioning that fitness trackers can be used for awareness-building to begin with. What I mean is, maybe you don’t know what your step or sleep goal should be because, where would you begin? 

Our advice would be to use the tracker for a month to see where you’re at now, what’s possible and what you might want to achieve in the future. So much is said for constantly improving and upgrading, maybe you just want to watch, track or just for things to stay how they are and to aim for more balance instead. There’s no right or wrong way to use health and fitness tech.
