Comment: One year later, Apple Watch has kickstarted a lifestyle change<div class="feat-image">

<p>For all of its shortcomings, the Apple Watch has redeemed itself for me with its <a href="
http://www.apple.com/watch/fitness/" target="_blank">fitness[/url] and <a href="
http://www.apple.com/watch/health/" target="_blank">health[/url] tracking features. I wear it primarily because it’s a watch but I like (the idea of) having Siri always there plus access to important alerts instantly. The sports watch part can be ignored if you’re not interested, but being one device means its still there if you decide to explore activity tracking later.</p>
<p>That’s been my experience. I generally ignored activity tracking for the first year, but decided at the end of March to use the start of April as a reason to pay attention. The Activity app uses week- and month-long streaks to mark achievements, so the start of a new month (like today) can be motivating.</p>
<p>My real goal was to lose weight using Apple Watch as a motivator. Two months in, I’ve been very happy with the results so far and have to give Apple Watch plenty of credit for pushing me forward. My routine also involves iPhone apps, smarter food choices, and some basic equipment, but closing the Activity rings is the most compelling part.</p>
