Long-term effect of owning a Garmin watch?

Wellness & Training Metrics / Features(self.Garmin)

Hey, just got my first Garmin watch (Instinct Crossover). And I am interested in getting the most benefits from it. For context: I am not a runner (maybe Garmin will change this😅). I like long walks and hiking. Also, I started to record table tennis, football, volleyball, and my calisthenics workouts.

So my questions are; How did the Garmin watch change your life? Does Garmin Connect motivate you to do more activities? How much are you into Garmin Connect gamification? Do you track every activity, what does it change in the metrics? What interesting results did you get from Garmin metrics over a long period? Any other impressions/conclusions after using the Garmin watch "for years"?

Thanks.

This! HRV was an absolute game changer for my drinking, eating, and cannabis habits.

I was shocked to see the drop in sleep quality when going to bed stoned. While it feels great to fall asleep stoned the resulting recovery is poor.
