I bought a new watch and when setting it up, I messed up. I got on the treadmill to do a walk and it asked me to calibrate by sharing the distance I walked. I took the distance in miles and converted it to kilometres. Except after recording 3 walks that have been recorded as runs it has become obvious to me that the calibration should have been in miles, and I never should have made the conversation.

What it comes down to is human error. 100% my fault, and the watch settings probably even asked for the distance in miles. But now I’ve got to figure out how to recalibrate my pace.

Something else I’m looking to recalibrate is my sleep patterns, my watch tells me that I don’t get a lot of deep sleep in a night. That’s part of the recalibrating, but hopefully the other part is the watch learning more about me. It suggests that I get 9 hours sleep to be fully recovered. I don’t remember the last decade where 9 hours sleep was something I could achieve… not just because I can’t schedule it, but because I simply can’t sleep that long. Any time I go past 8 hours I’m up whether I want to be or not.

All that said, the watch isn’t even a week old, so maybe I’ll just do a hard reset and start over. This time I’ll pay a little more attention when I’m calibrating it.
