Why would any sane person even use this kind of feature? It's not even that useful :/.
It's the kind of thing people think they needed, when actually they dont... Who the fuck needs to know how many steps you did this afternoon? Or how "good" you slept yesterday? How many calories your ate this morning...?
I haven't seen a single good use case of this kind of tracking device, except for your insurance/bank...
I use a Garmin watch to track my heart rate and variability, but I have a heart condition, so yeah. I agree with everything else though. "High stress detected" yeah, no shit.
