Summary
Have you thought about getting a wearable device like an Apple Watch, FitBit, or Oura Ring to help you on your weight-loss or health journey?
I’ve taken a long time to gather my thoughts on this and now I’m ready to share them with you, so if you’re curious what I think about wearable technology, stick around.
I’m sharing the pros and cons of wearable devices, when they’re helpful and when they’re not, and four questions to ask yourself before trying one.
There are so many options out there for wearable technology that it can get overwhelming, especially when everyone seems to have a strong opinion about one device or another. This episode will help you avoid spending a ton of money on a piece of tech that ends up forgotten in the back of a drawer and instead get something that’s right for you.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- Questions to ask yourself if you’re thinking about trying a wearable device
- The biggest pros and cons of wearable devices
- Surprising things you can learn about your health from a wearable device
If you’re struggling to decide whether a wearable device is a good investment for you, you’ve landed on the right episode.
