Yep, good that it does not only for those that excercise lightly as well as those that are more aggressive.

Will you buy an Apple Watch?

Your usual Apple sour grapes noted... 🙂
Speaking of exercise, I always get a chuckle over the exercise fanatics on a cruise ship who will wait for an elevator to go to the top decks where the exercise equipment rooms are located. Why don't they take the stairs? I do all the time and climbing 5-7 flights of stairs is far more exercise beneficial than the treadmill followed by two alcoholic beverages and another buffet feast. Now that my Apple watch has the stairs climbing altimeter, I look forward to testing it out on my next cruise soon. On a normal day on the ship, I can do 2X the green ring on my Apple watch. At home on a normal day it is 30-50%. I eat accordingly and don't have a weight problem.
"Good that it does" what? My understanding is that the options are aluminum (~100 brinell), stainless (~200 brinell) and ceramic. Nickel steel is around 220 brinell. Grade 5 titanium is upwards of 300 brinell.
Brinell scale - Wikipedia
Two joints: knees and hips. There are few things that are worse for those joints than ascending stairs and one of them is descending stairs.
I'm not talking about people with joint injuries, I'm talking about the ones who feel they need to go to the exercise room to justify their overweight condition and lack of self discipline with booze and food on a cruise. They take the elevator to go use the treadmill bicycle and stair stepper machines. I don't believe you will find people with joint problems in the exercise room. The real aerobic fanatics are youngsters like Mike and tigerfan who are out on the circuit doing laps several times a day. I only exercise with purpose. I don't hike up a mountain to get exercise, I hike up the mountain to see the sights and capture it in video and photography.
As one ages, one discovers that injuries aren't necessary for things like knees and hips to falter. Excess weight often makes it happen faster, but it isn't a requirement.
Stairs (the actual ones, not the simulated ones) aren't quality exercise so dismissing others for not including them in their circuit/routine is nearsighted at least.
For the past week I began to have trouble with my Apple watch3 apps not working right. They were all 3rd party apps. My TD Ameritrade app and my Qardio app would just show the company logo. Then last night I got down to my 3rd day on a charge and it was getting close to 10% so I decided to charge it up for 3 hours. When I connected the mag charger, I got this message asking if I wanted to reboot to refresh the watch, or something to that effect. I just agreed and after I recharged and checked it out those apps all began to work again. I wonder if the watch apps aren't releasing memory properly.
Perhaps the watch was wadded up waiting for a system update that it wouldn't undertake until connected to shore power.
I have never seen any Apple watch take an update for the iOS unless it was on the mag charger PLUS over 50% charge. But this wasn't an iOS update. It was just a question to confirm the hard reset of the watch. I answered YES and it rebooted and afterwards, those apps that stopped working began working fine immediately. Besides. I am pretty diligent on doing Apple updates both for my iphone and watch. Less so with my wife's watch and phone. She is not a power user so I wait for her to mention she has the update notice.
I only mention it here for other Apple watch owners in case they observe apps that start failing, to just do a full reboot.

Traveled a lot last week, including a red eye from LA back to Illinois via Atlanta. Loved the fact that the watched started with a full charge the morning of the day I left LA (17 hours later) and was still at least half-charged when I got home at noon the next day.
Such a difference from old Watch 0.

I am experiencing terrible lag while connected to Bluetooth chest strap with AW3.
It’s weird that the only metric not showing lag is the heart rate. Calories and distance will take 2-3 minutes to update.
I’m hoping it’s a bad chest strap monitor. I’m using a Wahoo Tickr.

I tried unpairing and paired with backup but no dice.
Unpaired and setup new did the trick.
Don,

Interesting. Might get me to one day buy the band and, of course, the Apple Watch.
Also interesting was the clickbait about Musk bidding on a Chicago high speed transit link between the airport and downtown.

My company just switched health insurance from Blue Cross to Aetna effective tomorrow. Aetna is offering every one of us an Apple Watch at $244 of list price. That makes the cheapest Series 1 watch $25. I already have a Series 3 and my lady friend is using my old Series 1. Probably too good a deal to pass up though.
I joked about that at our enrollment meeting. A grand experiment perhaps? To see if the health apps actually affect out behavior I suppose. I'm sure Aetna is getting a discount from Apple. This might prompt a few iPhone sales too as the watch is worthless without one.
