[Electronic management of everyday life using the Apple Watch's health applications]

The objective of this article is to question the ways in which Apple Watch applications require users to manage their body and health. The survey describes the use of "smart watches" within a genealogy of the concept of capturing information, inducing and notifying users of activities that affect their behavior, placing users into achievable rhythms and routines, and creating the perception of better bodily management, all part of accepting the notion of granting control to machines. The results indicate that wearable technologies became "prosthetics" capturing information in real time, acting as a "confession mechanism" for governing and normalizing the body, and are managed by the market as biocapital.
