Eh, sure, why not. You use a fit bit to exercise more, why not have a rosary that encourages more worship if that is your thing.
I supposed new agey stuff would have apps that make you more “mindful”.
Besides, I find it cool. A version made in stainles steel doesn’t look bad if used by, say, an indie keyboardist or singer, and of course Madonna is the best testimonial for it 
Luckily this Jesus Fitbit probably can’t tell how many fingers you’re signing with.
Pfft, hold my communion wine, bro!
The next version will administer a small electric shock if the built-in mic hears you saying “spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch” when you make the sign of the cross.
Acer made a digital rosary for Buddhists last year. https://www.lionsroar.com/acer-announces-smart-prayer-beads-to-digitally-count-mantra-recitations/

Does this mean that speedrunning the stations of the cross is now a legitimate e-sport?
Because as surely as one presses X to pay respects; it would appear so.
23 eastern christian autonomous churches sounds like fertile ground for DLC content packs on a scale that only Paradox usually achieves.
Matthew 6:7

Share on social media? Really?
And on the zeroth-day, GOD said “Bugger!”
“The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.” – Douglas Adams Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (1987).
