Talk for a while before going to bed, there is a world in your dreams. Good evening, listeners.
The dog days' "golden weight loss period" is coming as promised, and many people are grabbing "burning calories". Whether it's turning on heart rate monitoring, sweating hot in the gym, or turning on cycling mode, feeling "the wind is the taste of freedom" on the urban greenway, smart watches have become an indispensable "fitness partner" for many people with their fashionable appearance and healthy core concept. Today, let's talk about this topic together.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and big data technology, wearable devices are increasingly integrated into our daily lives. According to the data of the "China Wearable Device Market Quarterly Tracking Report", in the first quarter of 2024, China's wearable device market shipped 33.67 million units, of which 9.1 million units were shipped in the smart watch market, a year-on-year increase of 54.1%. Nowadays, the functions of smart watches are no longer limited to time presentation. Click on the watch face, and the real-time change of step count and heart rate will come into view; Connect to your phone and break down your workout results and sleep reports. Many people are keen on self-tracking of body data, interacting with the "digital body" under the monitoring of sensors day and night. From standing reminders after sitting for a long time, to location calls when you can't find your mobile phone, to fixed alarm clocks that take medication on time, each small but beautiful function refines the granularity of time and improves the sense of control over life.

If exercise also requires a sense of ritual, then, for some fitness enthusiasts, "not wearing a watch is like not exercising". Walking non-stop on the treadmill, doing their best in group classes, and smart watches are present to witness every sprint moment, faithfully recording every calorie consumption, which makes many people more and more unstoppable. "After swimming, I found that my watch was out of power, and I suddenly felt that I was swimming in vain" "When I went to the gym, I found that I forgot to take my watch, so I decided to go home to get it"...... Some netizens shared the regretful moment of "forgetting to take the watch" or "the watch is out of battery", which caused a lot of resonance.
Fitness is synonymous with self-discipline. Behind the sculpted figure of the "fitness youth" is efficient time management, superhuman perseverance in regular diet, and strong will to rain or shine. Or perhaps, exercise and fitness have no visible effect for the time being. The smart watch visualizes and quantifies the secretion of dopamine every time, calling for persistence day after day, giving people reason to believe that the body is becoming healthier, and also bringing people faith and encouragement, that is, action will change, and pay will result. Today, we undoubtedly urgently need such certainty and positive feedback. Not to mention, an "electronic medal" is a high-quality social currency. In this regard, some people are keen to share the trajectory and pace of running, and some people like to post about the achievements achieved on the fitness app, and the psychology behind it may be the same.
The original intention of inventing the smart watch was to allow people to take their attention away from the small screen and get relief from the control of their mobile phones. At present, the obsession with the pursuit of perfection has made it an "electronic shackle" for many young people to "torture" themselves. From the sun-kissing ring, to the collection of badges, from the check-in and check-in of "have been practiced", to the step ranking every night, comparing with yourself and others, quantifying life may also bring huge mental pressure. It's no wonder that some people joked that "what can make urban people bounce out of bed in the middle of the night is not only Party A's phone, but also unfinished sports rings".
Every drop of sweat is worthy of recognition; Every effort is worth recording. It's just that while obsessing with quantifying life, we must also maintain a kind of sobriety, and don't let instrumental rationality override value rationality. Wear a watch when running, don't forget to enjoy the scenery along the way; Sleep depends on the length of time, and pay more attention to how much power is restored when you wake up overnight. Learning to find balance in a quantitative life is undoubtedly a must-answer in the digital age.
This is exactly what it is:
Which smart watch is strong, and the sports ring makes people busy.
The most important thing is to harvest happiness, and hard core strength depends on health.
Good night everyone!
