Vent: My neighbor said my new smartwatch was just a 'glorified pedometer' during our chat over the fence yesterday, and it actually made me realize I only use it for step counting.

Has anyone else bought a gadget with a bunch of features but ended up using it for just one basic thing?

Your neighbor's missing the point. A smartwatch tracks steps, sure, but it also logs your heart rate and sleep patterns in the background. That data builds a full picture of your health over time. My step count is just the number I check most often. The other features are still working even if I'm not staring at them every day.

Exactly, the background health stuff is the real game changer.

But what good is that data if you never actually look at it or use it?
