My take is the watch is more successful because I don't need any special apps to take full advantage of it.
I love what apple has built around it - health and fitness monitoring primarily but also siri integration (setting reminders, alarms, timers etc).
Generally on the health and fitness aspects the only accessories I find useful are a connected scale and connected blood pressure monitor (both from withings). The data is shared from the withings app to the health app (and I don't let the withings app read any data from health) so I can see that info along with everything else.
I do wish either the health or fitness apps on iPhone had better analytics, data visualization, and comparison tools or made them easier to find. They do have some good ones but it takes more taps than I'd like and I wish there were more breakdowns.
- dpflan 4y agoAgree. You're using products from https://www.withings.com/us/en/ https://www.withings.com/us/en/ ?
- bern4444 4y agoYup! I have one of their scales and BP Monitors. Makes it very easy to track this data over the longterm automatically - especially BP which I can then show my doctor at my annual physical of how I'm doing especially since white coat syndrome can affect readings they take. I find having this data very motivating and I can use it to calibrate my days and weeks.
