Father's Day Gift

I got a Garmin Viviosport as an early father's day gift.

Sporty + Modern Technology = Me (?)

I was inspired by my bro's use of one to track and post his running routes and walks.  I was thinking how cool it would have been to have it when we were walking all around Paris last summer.  Here's a sample of what it can do as we took a walk on the aqueduct near the high school:



When setting the "Smart Activity Tracker" up, I chose the 24 hour clock option and the metric system for all measurements (ofc! as the kids would say).  When, later during the set up, it asked me for my weight in kg, I was at first annoyed because it should have asked me for my mass in kg but then I was annoyed because I had no idea what the answer was and had to do some quick dimensional analysis in order to answer. Then, after I was wearing the viviosport, I looked at the dial and saw the display doing this:


except that the numbers were something like
15
17
I had to ask Irene what it meant and she looked at me like I was some kind of moron and simply said "You know it's a watch, too, right?"
Then I realized the first 15 meant 3 PM.  

Oh, okay... yep, I'm ready for this!
