“This week, we decided to explore what impact the Apple Watch is having on your health, exercise and lifestyle,” Wristly reports in their “Wristly Apple Watch Insider’s Report #13,” dated today, July 28th. “To that end, we also asked you to share some special moments with your Watches. Reading through each of your responses was probably our best moment of the week here at Wristly — it really highlighted that the Watch is not about just one thing or a few, but rather about a series of special moments – many being truly unique to each of us.”
“Making healthy lifestyle changes isn’t always easy. There is a famous quote that says ‘The first step to change is awareness,’ and your responses indicate that the Watch is helping many of you on your health journeys,” Wristly reports. “Over 78% of you agreed or strongly agreed that since getting the Watch, you are more aware of your overall health. In addition, many of you have already made changes with 78% of you agreeing or strongly agreeing that you stand more, 67% that you walk more, 57% that you exercise more and 59% that you make better overall health choices. We saw it in the numbers, and we read it in your comments.”
“Making change also requires consistency. We asked you how often you wore your Watch, and an astounding 86% of you say you wear it all day, every day. Another 12% wear it most of the time most days, leaving only 1% of our panel that goes more than a few days without wearing it,” Wristly reports. “Only 3 of you reported that you stopped wearing the Watch. Tim Cook mentioned his own set of numbers during the earnings call – citing 94% of customers continuing to wear their Watches. Our numbers are a tad higher but consistent, with the difference likely attributable to the opt-in nature of our panel.”
