Letters to the Editor: Don’t let a smartwatch tell you how you’re doing at life

Apple watches are seen on display at an Apple Store in New York in 2023. To the editor: I have watched the smartwatch trend become more prevalent among friends and strangers to the point where I’ve felt that I too should join the movement. Ultimately, tracking and focusing on this data could reduce one’s self-awareness to only those numbers. I prefer the company of friends and perhaps kicking back with a coffee, a glazed doughnut and a good book devoid of bad news about one’s health. To the editor: Cate Twining-Ward’s piece, though specifically about devices and apps for athletic training, applies across the entire spectrum of seductive gadgets that have infiltrated our modern lives.
