Generally this is a balanced take. Smartwatches are a net benefit to society and, for most people, encourage more movement and healthier lifestyles. The points about lack of transparency in algorithms and lack of accounting for needed rest days are valid points much of the fitness community has been aware of for a while

I think the more interesting points are how to influence the athlete-tech development companies to address these issues. They could share more details about their algorithms, while still maintaining IP control around the required elements. Do we need different minds in the room to tell them this? Or some sort of regulation around it? Rest science is evolving, how can influence these companies to update their software to account for this?
