I am well into my 50s, have no tattoos, and have been wearing a Garmin watch for about 10-11 years.

Not only does it track my running, cycling, and hiking activities, it measures my HR, pulse ox, sleep, and heart rate variability and a few other things. It's a great tool for checking in on yourself and a decent tool to share with my PCP when he asks what I've been up to.

It's a very good tool for monitoring overall health. I can see from the charts when I'm pushing myself too hard and when I can turn it up a bit. When I am under the weather, like I was in December, the data shows that I was sick (heart rate variability was well below my normal range).

Not sure where the hate for wearables comes from - in my experience, they are pretty good at keeping me motivated.
