Crocheting Steps
Yesterday I received the new smart watch that I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I decided that it would make sense for me to get one because I live alone in an apartment building that is more-or-less soundproof. If I fall over and yell for help, no-one will hear me.

I want my watch to let someone know if I can’t get up, so I ordered a Google Pixel Watch 3 because it would communicate with my Google phone and thereby to someone who could come and help me. I don’t know how they would get into my apartment, but at least someone would try. I hope.
Anyway, it has been less than twenty-four hours since I got it and I already know this watch does far more than I need it to. I think that if Elon has trouble with Starlink I could probably fix it from the watch on my wrist.
Image via TelusIt took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that I needed to type in the security code I use on my phone. Even after I did that, it took even longer for me to interpret all the little tiny logos they use for different application functions. Actually, to be honest, I still haven’t done that for all of them, even while wearing my reading glasses and while holding a magnifying glass over the watch face.
The only conclusion I can reach is that they don’t want me to understand it all. They just want me to use the watch so that the hidden AI spies can follow me around and download all the data about me. That way they can keep on sending me phishing emails and texts. Is it bad that I am more-or-less resigned to letting that happen? For today at least, that is the least of my problems.
Regardless, I have discovered something about this technology that works in my favour. I went for my usual walk along the waterfront this morning and then, after eating a delicious breakfast sandwich from the excellent Javawocky Cafe, I settled in to watch some podcasts and work on my crochet project.
Much to my delight, as I cheerfully relaxed in my recliner, I found that crocheting increases my step count! Isn’t that awesome? Google may have created the perfect fitness gadget for me.

Apparently, it also has loss of pulse detection. If you don't respond to either detection, it makes an emergency call. I sure hope these false positives don't happen in the middle of the night and it makes an emergency call on me for nothing. #pw3 #pixel #FallDetection #PulseDetection
I fell for the first time in many years and my Watch asked me if I am ok! Let’s keep this as the only time.
