Hello Jay Harris!

A friend has volunteered to swap watches/trackers with me for  
about 4 days. We'll see if he gets the same 2:30-7a-ONLY sleep  
record with the ID205L that I did.

Meanwhile, I'll be wearing a Fitbit Charge 4.  Ret. $149.

I suppose that's can be good (obviously for seniors) ..but also  
perhaps for a hiker.

I see a lot more people settling a POS payment using the  
touchless tech using a phone.  I assume that's an ApplePay  
exclusive feature.
