I recently got a watch and it's actually helped me pay better attention to learn my own natural signals. It is surprisingly good at tracking my stress and reminds me to address it in the moment. It's been wonderful. I'm getting better at "feeling" before the watch has to tell me. I was so used to high stress before that I didn't realize it was happening until it was dangerous (pounding headaches, etc). These devices can be good when implemented thoughtfully.

for sure. They have their place. I've personally never had any body tracking device and don't wear a watch as is, but i can for sure appreciate there are ways to leverage them intentionally, as with most tools.

I bought it for medical reasons mostly and it turns out stress is probably the cause of those issues. I guess you have to weigh everything and most people probably don't. It's just another distraction device if you allow it.
