Real reasons to get an Apple watch? (alien.top)

Hey all! I was wondering if I should buy an Apple watch. I don't need notifications, phone calls, or any other distractions. Receiving those will be even a minus for me!

I am interested if I'll get any real benefits to track different aspects of my health? Obviously, my iPhone tracks how many steps I am making every day.
Can you tell me what you track in the health section? And how your life really improved after started tracking this specific thing?

I wanted to start running more in the morning before the family is up. The watch's alarm function is great so I can get up without waking my significant other. The tracking feature is great so you can see progress over time and keep the motivation up (a phone also works but who wants to carry around a phone while running?)

There are little things that I've since discovered that are helpful as well (Apple Pay on the watch and tracking sleep for example), but even that's all the watch did I'm a happy customer.
