However, that's when the tide turned for Smith. He spotted an Apple Watch while scrolling through Facebook, and that lit a spark in him. "You know what? I'm gonna throw that thing on and track my heartbeats," he said.
但是，那是史密斯潮流转向的时候。他在浏览 Facebook 时发现了一台 Apple Watch，这在他心中点燃了火花。“你知道吗？我要把那个东西放上去然后追踪我的心跳，” 他说。
From walking around a few blocks, Smith noticed the rings on the Apple Watch. He eventually became obsessed with closing the rings on his smartwatch, and that transformed his lifestyle.
在几个街区里走来走去，史密斯注意到了 Apple Watch 上的戒指。他最终沉迷于在智能手表上合上戒指，这改变了他的生活方式。
A little over six months after his heart surgery, Smith signed up for a 5K marathon and completed it. "It kinda took off from there. I got into hiking and camping, and meanwhile I'm trying to close these rings every day, I'm obsessed with it," he said.
心脏手术六个多月后，史密斯报名参加了 5K 马拉松并完成了比赛。“它有点从那里起飞了。我开始徒步旅行和露营，同时我每天都在努力关闭这些戒指，我对此很着迷，” 他说。
Smith says prior to getting the Apple Watch, he was a "couch potato" and ate junk food that clogged his arteries. He also became a diabetic because of his dietary habits.
史密斯说，在买到Apple Watch之前，他是一个 “久坐不动的人”，吃了阻塞动脉的垃圾食品。由于他的饮食习惯，他还患上了糖尿病。
However, the heart attack and his subsequent obsession with completing the rings on his Apple Watch changed his life.

Why It Matters: Apple Watch has often been credited for saving the lives of its owners, thanks to features like crash and fall detection, and emergency SOS.
为什么重要： Apple Watch经常因挽救其所有者的生命而受到赞誉，这要归功于碰撞和跌倒检测以及紧急SOS等功能。
However, its fitness features are also just as useful, like Smith's case shows. While you don't necessarily need an Apple Watch to become physically active and fit, Apple's smartwatch pushes people enough so they don't remain sedentary for long periods.
但是，它的健身功能也同样有用，就像史密斯的案例所示。虽然你不一定需要 Apple Watch 来锻炼身体和保持健康，但 Apple 的智能手表足以推动人们长时间久坐不动。
"After getting active and learning how to take care of all that and moving, I no longer take any diabetic medicine, I'm no longer considered type two. I used to have a really high A1C, now it's in the normal range," Smith concludes.
“在变得活跃起来，学会了如何治疗所有这些问题并活动之后，我不再服用任何糖尿病药物，也不再被视为二型糖尿病了。我以前的A1C非常高，现在处于正常范围内，” 史密斯总结道。
