It has arriveddd! Got it yesterday so I tested it out all day today :D
I can ABSOLUTELY put art on the watch face! So I love peeking down at it, right now i have a picture that someone drew of mine and my hub's characters. I'll draw something for the watch later~!

The step counter is not totally accurate. It also counts hand motions as steps even if I am sitting down, and I flap my hands around a TON when I talk. So I just kinda take the step counts and cut em in half maybe? That should be closer to correct XD Or like 1/3 of it is true steps maybe

@Stinky:
OH
Oh this makes it make so much more sense why people got angry
shoot I wish I knew this :vanora_cry:
I guess you dont know what you dont know until it slaps you in the face sometimes~!

Thank you!

@Shark:
Yeah my mom and I always used this term because that's what we were told I had, but this was back in like the early 00's or late 90's. It was probably still being figured out back then.
I never 100% believed the diagnosis cause it can very often be misdiagnosed, and was never even documented. But now I know to uh.. correct the terminology if it ever comes up again!

@Totalanimefan:
Should be here on the 1st!

I'm big struggling to draw anything rn x_____x
just sketching

@Totalanimefan:
Like pedometer and that? Yeah, it has heart rate, calories, distance, blood pressure
and steps of course
I found that pretty much all the watches I looked at have these same features. Some do better than others in accuracy, but really the only limitations I saw were mostly battery life?

Granted I only looked at items with the best reviews xd

Lmao gosh I hadn't eaten skittles in so long
when I lived in CO my throat was too dry and I'd choke on them!

Now that I can eat them again, I need to revisit these flavors :vanora_xd:

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah it seems to have all the regular features of a smart watch.
You can receive calls and texts on it (which I probably would turn off, I like to disconnect from my phone)
Music and Camera Control, Brightness Adjustment, Weather Display, Sedentary Reminder, Alarm Clock, Stopwatch, Flashlight.
8 sport modes and 7-15 days of battery life.

Honestly if the battery life is true, that alone beats a samsung watch by a mile imo.

@Totalanimefan:
I hope so too!!
If I can put my own images on it like advertised, I cant wait to see if its a decent quality! I'd love to draw something for it specifically.
I'll show it off it that works out :vanora_xd:

@sunny:
Oh, I think I've heard about Autism Speaks before.
I have a hard time finding trustworthy info online when comes to these kinds of things. There's a lot of this and that. That's why I came here, I tend to respect the minds of the people on this site. Conversation helps me pick up on context too TvT

@sunny:
Gotcha gotcha
actually the way you explain it makes a lot more sense. Perhaps I wasn't understanding Autism spectrum correctly all along!

(also your post style is the cutest thing)

*edit: I understood faster than I thought I would! ty


Hello hello
this is actually not intended to be a serious topic, but it can absolutely be a sensitive one so I felt this the best forum to put it in. Also a place to avoid the subject if it makes anyone uncomfortable. Please let me know if that is the case though and I can happily erase it! I by no means intend any disrespect, I am really just oblivious to the social expectations.

I moreso wanted to understand the common opinion and negative implications surrounding the label Aspergers

What brings this up was a happy little chit chat in a discord server where someone started to assume I was autistic. They had innocent intentions, it was moreso referring to a kind of hyperfixation that I have on things sometimes. To give credit to their thoughts, I mentioned that Aspergers was suggested when I was young but not officially documented (I take it as not truly a diagnosis, doctor didn't want me to lose rights later in life by being "less than ordinary" on paper--the world sucks a bit). All in all, I leave it open as possibility but I'll probably never have it confirmed. No need to.

But by saying the word, the chat exploded as if I just said hail h*tler or something. Before I could get any explanation as to why "Aspergers" has become such an offensive word, mods silenced everyone :vanora_xd:

I did some quick google searches but couldn't find anything concrete I guess. The only information I got was that aspergers is now just merged into autism. That was alarming to me because I could've sworn I read about Aspergers in DSM-5 as still being a separate thing. There are distinct differences in the two even if they share similarities--!

What do you all think about this?
Of course, I'm open for corrections! I guess my concern was that I understood differences, and it feels like a mental disorder has been essentially erased for some reason. But I'm 30 now so I'm a boomer who dont understand

@Totalanimefan:
Yeahh, sadly I cannot stand iphones ;;
Im so comfortable on androids and pcs that I dont use any apple product. Some of that is for cost as well.
But yeah!
I ended up getting the $59 Cakuja watch (knocked it down with a coupon too). Never heard of them but reviews are good across the board, so we'll see how it works! If I like it Ill simply change the band to a less ugly one lmao

@Totalanimefan:
I like the look of apple watches too! they're not too bulky or annoying.
But I do doubt they'll work well on androids? I should probably look into that, but they're also most expensive

Ahhhhhhh I'm going crazy with researching these things, so I'm gonna compile a small list on here D<
Please tell me your experience with these or any other brands I dont mention!!


I'm looking for in features:
○ step tracking (ofc)
○ sleep tracking (if it can detect things like snoring or grinding, even better, but not deal breaker)
○ REMINDERS! This is probably the biggest thing, I need it to be able to either set reminders in its own app or read off my existing phone calendar. I need them alarms bb
○ Size--I have tiny wrist. If I measured right, my wrist is like 45mm wide.

First idea is always Fitbit. But I REALLY dont like how difficult it is to actually find a breakdown of what features are premium and what aren't. For the big price, I start looking around elsewhere >>


Pros: 40mm!! It SMOL
I have a samsung phone. A samsung tv. They have great stuff, but--
Cons: Bad reputation for awful battery life. Like its supposed to be 24 hours which is sucky already, but it doesn't actually last even a day. This is based on feedback my husband gets at work (he works at a phone company). Reviews online seem to share the opinion.
ALSO IT UGLY AF
And $200+

Apple watch is pretty but i have android :')
and its $$$$ with 18 hour battery life



Pros: GORGEOUS. Professional. R O U N D.
I love this design, I would pay the extra $ for it. But--

Cons: 42mm
so big
so bulk


Pros: price is in the double digits.
Fully customizable watch face--I can have fun with that!
I cant find measurement in mm but it appears to be a smaller one? probably 40-41mm?
multiple days of battery life even on heavy use (per reviews)

Cons: Ugly
Do not like the bands (but may see if these can be changed)


Pros: EVEN CHEAPER in cost but also even more positive reviews

Cons: 42mm wide is so biggggggg for me



Too many options and all of them look ugly
or big
or expensive
:vanora_tired:
I just want a device on my wrist that will yell at me and hold me accountable for my routines/meds/ect
