It was *really* cool to hear all the reasons that folks wear their Apple Watches on their ankles sometimes: mastodon.social/@s0mmer/109705…

So I decided to write about it a bit: sommerpanage.com/posts/2023-01…

Spoiler: it's actually about #accessibility in the end. :-)

One remaining piece of the puzzle is how would one interact with a watch when it is worn on an ankle?

@vick21 @pesh Fitness and health tracking would be my top two proposals. Nowadays the watch can track many health metrics such as blood oxygen and heart data, so even if fitness isn't an interest, there are health metrics that could be helpful. It also has a lot of cool safety features like fall detection which, if adapted to ankle-wear, would be great.
