A New Use for the Apple Watch

A couple years ago I bought an Apple Watch, the Nike version which has an emphasis on exercise. The watch is very nice. It allows you to choose many different faces. For example, my watch shows digital time, the day and date, weather, timer, and exercise accomplishment for the day. The Apple Watch also communicates with other Apple devices, such as my iPhone, iPad, and iMac. I use the exercise app that comes with the watch nearly every day in the summer when I bike 20 miles a day. The watch records the distance to the 1/10th of a mile, the time to the second, the average speed, and the heart rate. You can use the exercise app for running, walking, spinning, and other exercise routines.

The other day at the club I took a dancer to a private VIP booth. As I was pounding her vigorously doggy-style, my Apple Watch made a noise. I looked at it. It had this message: "It looks like you're working out." And it gave me the option to record my work out.

I dismissed the message. But now I wish I had told it to record my work out. I could learn how many calories I burn doing my favorite exercise.
