I like your emphasis on simplicity. Watches and apps inundate us with data and sundry scores based on proprietary algorithms. When I look at the results reported from my bed, my watch and my apps they rarely agree. One says, hit it hard, another — take a rest day etc.. The only consistent measurement comes from my dog. He never believes in rest days and every day should be all out.
It may be off topic but you introduced CGMs. At some point would you consider discussing what you learned from it and why you decided to use it?
+1 to the dog as measurement tool. Best one there is. Yep - good idea on the CGM front. Will add it to the list. Thanks Marshall for kicking off this series.
I’m a fan of the Oura also. I do like tracking with apps. Probably too many :) I went back and forth looking at either an Apple Watch Ultra or a Garmin and ultimately went for the Apple Watch. I have a 1% Journal about making yourself 1% better each day coming I’m planning on using to write down goals.
I had an Apple Watch for a long time. It's a really good health tool. I didn't want to use it racing because I worried about it getting trashed. So that's when I got the Coros. And then when I wanted to simplify, I just kept using the Coros. Love the 1% Journal idea.

The Coros is interesting. I do love the Garmin’s but they cost as much as a MacBook and I feel like I’d use a third of what it can do.
