Real reasons to get an Apple watch? (alien.top)

Hey all! I was wondering if I should buy an Apple watch. I don't need notifications, phone calls, or any other distractions. Receiving those will be even a minus for me!

I am interested if I'll get any real benefits to track different aspects of my health? Obviously, my iPhone tracks how many steps I am making every day.
Can you tell me what you track in the health section? And how your life really improved after started tracking this specific thing?

The passive monitoring is pretty amazing and has saved people's lives by tipping them off to health conditions they weren't aware of. But tbh, I'm pretty active and have never once used my health data in any meaningful way. Sleep data I would but with the battery life I need to remember to charge it before bed everyday.

If getting shiny badges and fireworks motivates you to stay fit or you could use a luxury LifeAlert then the Apple Watch has you covered
