When you're running out of doors, it turns out that you do not have a handy display that tells you how long you've been running, or how fast, or at what incline and how many imaginary calories you've burned and what your imaginary heart rate is. I know that those displays have a lot of wildly inaccurate information that is not terribly useful, but they've always been comforting, all the make-believe data they feed to you, helping you to feel that you are on top of your fitness and you have all the pretend information you need to make informed decisions about your health and when you can step off the treadmill and go die in a corner somewhere.

But since we live in the future, we have a fabulous way to carry at least a small portion of that information with us! Heart rate monitors are way more accurate ways to judge the intensity at which we work, Google pedometer is the way we can figure out how far we have come and how far we have left to go, and a digital watch (which remains a pretty neat idea), with a little simple math, is the best way to tell how long we've been running, and how much longer we have to run before we can go die on a corner somewhere.  I've been wearing a crappy little Casio; I would much rather be looking sleek and sexy wearing the PXR-5 Watch by Michael Young. It's industrial-looking and rugged, yet sleek, oversized and would absolutely make me run for so much longer just because I like looking at it, and also it's on sale. That's my excuse; what's yours?
