I was already running daily so the ring stuff has never been much of a life changer for me. The things I love about the Apple Watch over the Garmin watches I used for several years before are the ability to leave the phone at home when I run and still be able to call home if I need to. I also enjoy not needing to fuss around with syncing playlists before a run because I can stream anything I want over LTE. I also make heavy use of Siri. I also like how easy it is to just drop on my night stand to charge Vs fiddling with a charging cable and finicky connector.
My life had already changed 13 years ago when I started running but I could see how an Apple Watch could be life changing if it motivated you to get of your ass. Exorcise daily has an incredible impact on life that so many people underestimate.
This will mess up the pedometer calibration. Don’t do it. What is the point anyways?
