You might want to consider that human behavior can be difficult to calculate on an abacus.
Beginning to realize success toward a goal with a single behavior change (changes due to an increase in exercise) will having reinforcing effects on other behaviors (such as dietary choices).
By gamifying a key factor that likely led to a cascade of behavior changes, the watch played a critical role in improving his chance of success toward a goal.
Whether accurate or not, your point does not negate nor diminish the value of the watch as the critical factor.
- RandyRanderson 10y agoSo you're advocating: . gym memberships . fitness products . supplements . etc? Because all those could fit into your gamification argument. How well in general do those work? My points are: 1 Again congrats to that person on the wt loss. 2 Likely it was their focus on changing their behaviour that was responsibile and not the watch. Probably a journal would suffice. Also your statement "...the watch as the critical factor" is surprising, emphasis mine. I think only if I knew that person really well and had witnessed the transformation personally could I make that statement.
