Summary
Wearable health trackers have gone from niche gadget to mainstream obsession — and for good reason. But with so many metrics, devices, and conflicting claims, it can be hard to know what actually matters. In this episode of Tackle Talk Men's Health, we walk you through everything from the basics — steps, resting heart rate, sleep tracking — right through to the more advanced stuff: HRV, VO₂ max, and even continuous glucose monitors. By the end, you'll know exactly what to track, what to ignore, and whether the device on your wrist is genuinely working for your health.
