If not, I&#8217;d have stopped wearing it long ago and listed it on my eBay account to unload it. I actually enjoy the Health stats quite a bit. (Hence, why I was so devastated when I lost all of my Health data from September 2015 to February 2016.) It&#8217;s incredibly interesting to monitor your heart rate, daily step count, and overall activity over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20884 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=680,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=199,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=510,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1021,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1361,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=193,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=270,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=532,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=340,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=811,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03212.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The convenience of being able to get notifications on your wrist is nice.

It is such an addictive game! You use the Watch&#8217;s Digital Crown to spin a tri-color wheel so the color matches the color of the bullets the come down the screen. It&#8217;s super simple but a ton of fun. I like to casually play the game while riding the bus to class.<\/p>\n<h3>Any regrets?<\/h3>\n<p>This is one of the few times I&#8217;ve committed to buying the first generation of a product. I usually wait things out since the first mockup (at least from Apple) is never perfect. There&#8217;s always room for improvement. I chose to be an early(ish) adopter of a new product and I really do not regret it.

I may be an introvert at heart, but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to numerous solo travel adventures, I've learned to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle. Now my primary goal is to help you explore unusual places, travel longer, and design a remote lifestyle.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com"]}]}},"modified_by":"Rocky Trifari","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2560,height=1701,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219-scaled.jpg","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2560,height=1701,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219-scaled.jpg",2560,1701,false],"thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=150,height=150,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=199,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",300,199,true],"medium_large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=510,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",704,468,true],"large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=680,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",704,468,true],"1536x1536":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1021,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",1536,1021,true],"2048x2048":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1361,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",2048,1361,true],"post-thumbnail":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=189,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",282,188,true],"fluida-featured":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",282,288,true],"fluida-featured-lp":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=417,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",417,290,true],"fluida-featured-half":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",800,290,true],"fluida-featured-third":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=290,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",512,290,true],"fluida-header":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1250,height=230,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",1250,230,true],"fluida-lpbox-1":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=216,height=140,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",215,139,true],"fluida-lpbox-2":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=312,height=350,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",192,215,true],"fluida-lpbox-3":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=162,height=200,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",161,199,true],"fluida-featured-square":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=512,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",512,512,true],"fluida-featured-square-large":["\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=1024,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/dsc03219.jpg",1024,1024,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Rocky Trifari","author_link":"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/author\/therockysafarigmail-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"I&#8217;ve had my Apple Watch for 6 (almost 7!) months now.
