  • Apple Watch and staying alive - a reluctant wearer's conversion

    Blerd_DadBlerd_Dad
    I have had just about every generation of Apple Watch since the 1st on I skipped the 5. But I got the 6 because of the SPO2 monitor. 
    I love this thing. I have sickle cell anemia and have to go to the hospital for outpatient procedures every 3 weeks. And every time I go I check the O2 sensor and the heart rate monitor against their machines. The watch’s heart rate is always spot on and the O2 is too or off by only +/-1 degree. These things are amazing little machines. I have had a couple of acute chest scares and the ecg feature was always in sync with the 16 lead machines. 
    Stay strong mike you’ve got this!

  • Two months later: AirPods Pro versus Powerbeats Pro

    Blerd_DadBlerd_Dad
    One big thing that I noticed was missing in this piece, is the fact that Powerbeats Pro have physical buttons on both buds. This is tremendously helpful when working out or running when it’s cold out. 
    Not having to reach for your phone, say hey Siri or reach for your watch (if you even have one) is great. No matter how discrete you try to be saying hey Siri always draws attention. 

    Plus for android users who don’t get the same ease of use and feature switching this could seal the deal for them. 
    Plus the Powerbeats Pro are geared toward fitness primarily. If you’re running a marathon the 9 hour battery life is great. If your working out or training 9/10 you’ve got a gym bag or back pack to throw the case in. 
    I don’t think the Powerbeats pro where ever designed to be for the casual user or and AirPods replacement. It’s for a complete different demographic.
