I do not desire a new smartwatch. However I want one all the identical.
More often than not, once we write about a terrific deal, it is as a result of we expect it is price sharing; anybody who loves tech merchandise is aware of they are often dear, and all of us need to lower your expenses. This time, I discovered one as a result of I had to purchase it for myself, and I’ll seize a Pixel Watch 3 from Amazon whereas it is on sale for $199.
Some folks know this about me, however if you happen to do not, I will let you know: I am in a wheelchair. Do not feel sorry for me as a result of I did this to myself by being a dumbass, and I did not die; life is mostly good, and it compelled me to develop up at 30 years outdated. I am not paralyzed, although. As time goes by, extreme injury to my bones and nerves is forcing me to stay extra of my life sitting down, however I can nonetheless stroll a bit.
I am additionally cussed. My workplace is within the basement and I like having it within the basement. I’ve my “personal” rest room, quick access to the yard, and it provides me privateness and peace whereas I am attempting to work. Attending to the basement is a unique story due to the steps. Stairs are my kryptonite, each up and down.
I solely know if my legs are transferring if I’m them. I may even step on a Lego and really feel no ache. Legs that really feel “useless” and stairs imply I fall down. Lots. Thus far, I’ve not damaged something or knocked myself out, however each my Physician and my spouse know that it might simply occur, and reluctantly, I even should admit I might find yourself on the backside of he steps, out chilly and in want of assist. I want one thing that may name for that assist if I want it, however I am not about to put on one thing marketed for senior residents. I want a wearable with dependable fall detection, just like the Pixel Watch 3.
I do know that the Pixel Watch 3 is not the latest smartwatch from Google or the one wearable that gives fall detection. I additionally know that Black Friday and its mountain of tech gross sales are just some weeks away.
I additionally know that if you happen to want one thing, you can purchase it once you see it on the proper worth and haven’t any regrets. I fell 3 times final week. I can not wait and do not need to do the good factor and transfer my workplace upstairs.
I do know my state of affairs is totally different than most, nevertheless it’s related in some methods. When we’ve got an instantaneous want, it is nice once we can fill it and save a bunch of cash. I will miss the accuracy and battery lifetime of my Garmin Venu 3, however I am not going to complain about having a brand new shiny gadget to mess with.
And if I take a extra severe tumble, I can get the assistance I want.
