    In a similar vain, I tried out a garmin smartwatch for a while, and at some point it warned me I was getting stressed.

    I wasn’t though - I was excited about a project that I had been working on coming together. But apparently the watch could only think in negative moods.

    For that, and other privacy and usability based reasons, I decided to return it and go back to my non-heart-rating Pebble Time Steel.
