I think it’s designed that way on purpose to not obscure what the objects are.

What kind of health features does she want? Garmin doesn’t sell your data, and they actually make the best hardware when it comes to fitness watches, but their app is kinda bare-bones. (Which is a selling point, imo.)

There are also FOSS options on F-Droid if she wants an app only (I think some can sync with branded watches?) And there’s also the Pebble watch that I see threads about sometimes, but I don’t know anything about it personally.

Back in the day your identifier was whatever name you typed in. On IRC you could put a password on a name to claim it so long as you didn’t go inactive for too long (and then it would be free for anyone to take), but you didn’t have to, and on many web chats you didn’t even have the option. It was very common for people to change names frequently for jokes, RP, or setting a status. You didn’t have a profile picture or friends list or any of that.
