    Taking a Break From The Apple Watch

    Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday I decided to take a break from the Apple watch for up to a week. I am tired of two behaviours. The first of these is the watch’s habit of saying that I did not stand for two or three hours in a row. I know that I have. I need…
