Why you need an Apple Watch at work

If we don&t change our approach to office working environments, people in offices will end up with hunched backs, arthritic conditions and vision problems, a report warns. Is this why you need an Apple Watch at work?

Bad working environments are bad for productivity

New research from workspace solutions provider Fellowes offers several stats that may reflect the problem of poor working conditions:

  • Over 90% of office workers suffer health issues as a result of where they work. They all say it makes doing their work harder.
  • 50% of office workers suffer from strained eyes.
  • 49% have sore backs.
  • 48% endure headaches.

And while "historical" may be a relative term when it comes to mobile technology, it suddenly dawned on me that the story we're seeing play out with the Pixel 4 right now has an awful lot in common with a major milestone in Google's past.
