That's fairly restrictive in terms of getting the client app approved by Apple but I guess their watch is the only available off-the-shelf solution that doesn't ship user data exclusively to a proprietary cloud. I'll take a look at this once they address sleep tracking, sounds like they're working on it. And hopefully the battery life won't be abysmal in the future. Thanks.
- MBCook 10y agoThere are good 3rd party apps for sleep tracking, and they can store the data in Apple Health. They left everything except basic exercise tracking up to 3rd parties with apps (that exists in 3rd party apps as well). If you care about privacy, I'd imagine it's the best solution in the market. As for battery life: I have a new Series 2. I wore it yesterday for about 16 hours of normal use (some Siri, looked at an app or two a few times to check something), and did 90m of exercise. When I took it off battery was 70-75%. They charge up pretty fast. I know of people who use them all day and sleep track with them. Depending on the battery life (model, size, age, your usage, etc) you can just charge it once or twice a day on it's charger (such as when you're in the shower) and that could be enough to keep it full. It doesn't take long to change since it's battery isn't that big. I'm not going to say it's perfect, but I've found it to be non-issue. I know that workouts are one of the things that can be hard on the battery, along with GPS.
