It’s official: my “experiment” to see if wearing a smart watch would give me insight into… Things… Was a success. If the definition of “success” is sinking another $400 into it, anyway. I upgraded from the Pixel Watch 2 to the new 45mm Pixel Watch 3, and I gotta say, it’s pretty grand. The larger dial is perfect for me, a fan of large watches.

I have gotten more out of the sleep tracking than I thought I would (to the point where I try to wear it to bed every day), and the fitness tracking has also been super fun to switch on for walks, bike rides, yoga sessions, and for rock climbing…

I may rock climb again soon! My physical therapist told me today that next week could be my last session, at least until I make another terrible mistake. Now I’m in this weird spot where I stepped back for so long that returning is giving me anxiety. But it is great not to be in pain all the time, how about that?

The yoga class was good, it was intense (for me), but I did all the moves without re-injuring myself so I’m counting that as a win. I intend to pick up one class a week until I’ve used up my five-pack and then see how I feel about it all. We’ll see how I feel about it when it’s 22 degrees outside. Signs point to “no thank you.”
