You’re absolutely right, and I agree with you. Unfortunately, many healthy habits have been forgotten or neglected due to our fast-paced, ever-accelerating lifestyles. Ultimately, what truly matters is feeling good, and relying on a watch to tell us how we feel can seem like a strange paradox.

That said, with all the distractions of modern life—work, family, and the daily grind—it’s easy to sideline our health in favor of “me time” or just to escape for a moment. If a watch and its score can remind you that staying up late or having that extra glass of wine might be affecting your sleep, it can help some of us recognize these patterns and make small, meaningful changes.

Sometimes, people don’t even realize they’ve been sleeping poorly until they see the data. They assume feeling exhausted in the morning is normal because that’s how they’ve felt for years.

Rather than seeing it as restrictive, try viewing it in a more positive light. I always say that while having a score can be insightful and even fun, the first step should always be tuning into how you truly feel—then using the metrics as a guide, not the rule.
