High fidelity fitness tracking for workouts and data collection of your own personal health.

- robterrell 3y agoThe first watch wasn't that -- I think Apple Watch 3 first really delivered on this.
- mafuyu 3y agoThe first couple AW gens didn’t really have much of a fitness angle, though. The hardware and software for health tracking was very lacking. It was only later on that they pivoted hard on fitness and did a big marketing push with the “three rings”.
- rahoulb 3y agoWhile it did some fitness tracking (especially the heart rate stuff which couldn't be done with a phone), it certainly wasn't promoted as a fitness device. There was all that stuff about "connecting" (where you could send doodles and heartbeats to your Apple Watch wearing friends) and they made a big deal about watch apps and notification management. And of course the "luxury watch" aspect (gold watches that go out of date in a couple of years - sheesh). It's only after a couple of iterations that Apple doubled down on the fitness side of things.
- zitterbewegung 3y agoI am only commenting of what the Apple Watch actually solved. The marketing was bad and I agree. The Apple Watch series zero was useful for me and others but it was something concrete that the watch does solve while the Vision Pro is different.
