Kwatch

Not long after the glass broke and I ordered its replacement, my Apple Watch died completely before I was able to properly unpair it from my phone. The new watch has been failing at crediting my exercise minutes to my health profile (the last thing I want to see after a 34 minute walk is my watch showing a total of 9 minutes of exercise) and after trying to calibrate it on Saturday and failing (20 minutes of walking resulting in 11 minutes of exercise) I handed it off to WM to look at.

Some time ago he converted from being a ‘PC’ to a “Mac” which means he’s in charge of troubleshooting my Apple products.

WM: I renamed your watch. There were multiple “Kimberly’s Apple Watch” pairings and I wanted to keep this newest one straight.
Me: Thanks. What did you name it?
WM: Kwatch.
Me: Kwatch?
WM: Kwatch! Like Swatch, but with a K.
Me: Like crotch, but Elmer Fudd saying it?
WM: Well now that you put it that way…

Kwatch.

Kwatch is still failing to properly track walks, so for the duration I have to log the exercise as ‘other’ to get my minutes. Which is kwappy, but I hope to get it figure out soon.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
