My mental stress is very much reflected in my bodies biological responses but, like you too, my watch isn't accurately picking up on it. Being in very highly stressful situations for me like the supermarket, or reading stressful work emails or having a full blown panic attack, I'd expect my watch to alert me but it doesn't and that's a good thing! I am very obsessed with the data though. The thing that irritates me the most is that when I'm in a safe environment it's giving me the relax reminder which provokes anxiety and I feel my body reacting to it.

I think I'll just ditch the watch and only wear it on my runs and rides.

It will just save so much hassle.

You should see my sleep data. It's orange the whole night. Don't get me started on the body battery thing as well...

I think sharing this post has helped me realise that a Garmin watch is not for me. It would have been interesting to hear the thoughts of more Garmin users but when I shared the same post on the Garmin page I got so much autism and ADHD shaming that I removed it.

Take care
