I don’t count myself as a fitness-tracking nerd who needs a smartwatch strapped to his wrist every waking second just to log every muscle twitch. I wear mine only while working out, or occasionally when I’m away from my phone for a bit — like when it’s in another room — to avoid missing calls or notifications. That’s it. That’s the entire purpose of a smartwatch for me.
While my watch can track everything from my broken sleep to biking laps — you know, the calories I burn — without me lifting a finger, it can’t as seamlessly track the calories that go into me. I’ve always struggled with nutrition tracking. Even though dozens of apps let you log your daily meals, the friction remains.
The only wearable that could bridge this wide gap in fitness tracking, I foresee, is smart glasses. And even though I’m not too fond of making every wearable “smart,” if glasses could handle nutrition tracking for me, I’d happily throw my wallet at them.
