I’ve been wearing a smart watch six months now, and it’s been a
learning experience. It complains when I haven’t slept well, and if I sit still
for too long, it tells me to get up and move. It counts my steps and does a
happy little dance when I’ve taken 10,000 during the course of the day. The
problem is, it doesn’t count my steps if my left wrist isn’t swinging. If I’m
pushing a wheelchair, a stroller or a shopping cart, my watch thinks I’m
resting. If I’m carrying something (When am I ever NOT carrying something?) or climbing
stairs with my hand on the rail, I may as well be standing still. It’s a minor
miracle my watch counts an average of 10,000 steps a day. Oddly, the watch is
happy when I’m playing the piano in the hospital lobby, but not when I
play the organ in church. Jazz is aerobic. Hymns, not so much.
