I’m probably the fittest I’ve ever been — and a lot of that is down to my Apple Watch. Each day, the device encourages you to close a selection of rings, which represent movement, standing hours, and exercise. Effectively, it’s made exercising a game. Each day is a competition against myself. And this is great — but also kinda fucking awful at the same time.
