I know we're all familiar with standard watches, but now they're being replaced by smartwatches. They promise so much—heart rate monitoring, step counting, sleep tracking—so how much of it is actually useful? What do you think makes the difference: the sensors, the algorithms, or our own usage habits? I'm jumping in on this topic too, so let's brainstorm with some fresh info, my dude.
Do you think smartwatches with their step tracking and other features actually work?

I once bought a domestic smartwatch. Its native heart rate monitoring did alert me when my heart rate was too high after exercise, but its sleep tracking feature was way off—it claimed I fell asleep at 1 PM when I actually hit the hay at 3 AM.
So, like, is it also about how seriously you take and use the data from these smartwatch sensors, bro? Like, are those algorithms that interpret the data just as good as the ones that keep checking your heart rate all night and wake you up with "hey, let me notify you"?
