People are wearing their Apple Watch on their ankles
There are good reasons why you should
Smartwatches, by definition, belong on your wrist. However, a growing movement is making a case for a new way to wear an Apple Watch: on your ankle.
Technically, there’s nothing illegal about wearing a smartwatch on another part of your body. It just feels… wrong. Plus, there’s the unavoidable connotation that wearing one on your ankle looks like you’re on house arrest. But apparently, there are practical reasons for donning the ankle monitor chic.
As reported by The New York Times, some users are finding more value in wearing their Apple Watch on their ankles. One such user, Ana Espinal who goes by @bodiedbyana on TikTok, is preaching the added benefits of ankle watches. According to the fitness-themed creator, normal usage sometimes prevents her Apple Watch from working, citing small wrists as the culprit.
Trying something new, Espinal has switched to her ankles as the preferred spot for her wearable. Since switching, the Apple Watch started recording workouts accurately again.
Another example, Zoe Hughley Beasly switched to the new method so her watch can keep tracking her steps while on an office pad. Because she’s working and has her hands on her keyboard, a wrist-worn watch won’t track steps. Switching to her ankle fixed the issue in a jiffy.
Besides these two, there are other reasons to wear a watch on your ankle. Some users might have skin conditions that prevents wrist wearing for a long time. Personally, I often get contact allergies from my watch. I can imagine that ankle wearing can solve this problem.
It all depends on whether I’m willing to endure the unending ankle monitor jokes. Right now, I’ll keep my watches on my wrist, thank you very much.

ARTMS Heejin shows KPop concert day through Ray-Ban Meta glasses
Heejin films concert POV
What does a KPop concert look like from the idol’s perspective? Heejin of ARTMS gives fans exactly that.
In a short Instagram Reel filmed using Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, the ARTMS member records an entire concert day from her point of view — from backstage moments to standing on stage in front of hundreds of fans.
The clip begins with Heejin showing off the Ray-Ban Meta glasses before putting them on. She then continues vlogging on her phone while already wearing the smart glasses, casually demonstrating how the wearable camera fits into her usual routine.
From there, the Reel jumps through several moments leading up to the show. We see Heejin signing what appear to be albums for the concert, followed by a quick meal before rehearsals begin.
At one point, she even chats with staff members who seem curious about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses she’s wearing.
Then the highlight arrives.
The perspective suddenly shifts to the stage.

From Heejin’s POV, the crowd stretches across the venue while she performs alongside her fellow ARTMS members. There’s a quick glimpse of choreography while she’s still wearing the glasses — offering fans a rare look at what performing in front of thousands of people actually feels like.
The Reel winds down with the group bowing to the audience as the concert ends.
Finally, the video returns to the same visual from the opening. Heejin lies down on a bed, mirroring the start of the day — a quiet signal that the long concert schedule has finally wrapped.
There are a few fancams too showing the day Heejin wearing the glasses while performing on stage.

From LOONA to ARTMS
For longtime fans, Heejin needs little introduction.
She first debuted in 2016 as the very first member of LOONA, a group known for its ambitious storytelling and global fanbase.
Following LOONA’s restructuring, Heejin went on to become part of ARTMS, a project group that reunites several former members while continuing their creative direction.
Moments like this Reel give fans a small but personal glimpse into that journey — this time through the lens of smart glasses.
What the Ray-Ban Meta glasses actually do
The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are wearable smart glasses created by Meta in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
They feature a built-in ultra-wide camera, microphones, and open-ear speakers that allow users to capture photos and videos completely hands-free.
Because the camera sits directly in the frame, the footage naturally captures a first-person perspective — exactly the kind of viewpoint that makes Heejin’s Reel feel so immersive.
Instead of watching a concert from the audience, viewers briefly experience what it’s like to be the person standing on stage.
A new perspective for fans
POV videos aren’t new online, but using smart glasses to capture a full concert day adds a new layer to behind-the-scenes content.
For a few moments, fans aren’t just watching the performance.
They’re seeing it through the idol’s eyes.
And for longtime fans who first met Heejin during her early days in LOONA, the moment carries a little extra weight.
From debut stages to a new chapter with ARTMS, the view has changed — but the stage is still the same.
Now the real question is: Which idol would you want to see try this next?
