Fitness trackers 20 years from now

I'm not even competitive, but my tracker devices are hugely motivational for me. And having useful metrics like heart rate as a tachometer for my body is immensely valuable for all sorts of activities.

I'm healthier and more active now because of them, and they've gotten me more in tune with my body, not less.

I agree. Simply measuring something brings a lot of motivation on its own.

Over the years, I've found that simply forcing myself every morning to step on the weight scale is a keystone habit in keeping my weight in check.

I do this with other things which I consider important as well, like tracking the finances.
