I stopped wearing mine at night because the sleep score was ruining my mornings. If it said I slept badly, I felt tired even when I actually felt fine.
My smartwatch keeps telling me things about my sleep and heart rate, and now I’m more anxious than before. Has anyone stopped wearing theirs?

I bought a smartwatch to get healthier, but now I check my sleep score, heart rate, and alerts too much. It feels helpful and stressful at the same time.

The heart rate alerts made me anxious, and the anxiety made my heart rate worse. That loop was enough for me to take it off.
I am the opposite. My watch helped me notice patterns with stress and sleep. The key for me was checking trends, not every number.
I still wear mine, but I turned off most notifications. I want information without feeling judged by a dashboard all day.
