This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Same, but noticed some peculiarities with the IOS update by ribs

I've had the Microsoft Band 1 and 2, Samsung Gear 3, and now the Apple Watch 5. The Apple watch is in a class by itself, nothing is even close. I love it, and don't even mind charging it every night.

That said, since I updated my iphone and watch to IOS 14, the watch is calculating my calories and steps completely differently. I usually average 3100-3600 calories burned per day, depending on activity obviously. But never less than 3,000, and never more than 3600. Last 3 days I've been doing the exact same things I did prior to the update. My steps are reporting as down 20%, and my calorie consumption is down 30%. Huge discrepancies.
