You calm down

Garmin is neat because it waits till you calm down to tell you you were stressed. Then you’re like „huh, yeah, I guess I was. Thanks for recognizing that!”

And Sam was in Birmingham at the time! That’s not even CLOSE to the Mediterranean, or indeed any sea!
That’s how pissed off he was.

Mine just assumes that I’m working out.
A couple years ago when I was in awful shape and arguing with family on a hot day, my pulse and perspiration was such that my watch thought I had gone for a swim

I know this is a joke but it made me think how messed up it is that we’ve outsourced recognizing our own emotions lol
Also, now a bunch of companies have tons of data on when and where we feel things

Watch was right. No point getting upset over work.

There’s a reason the only smartwatch I’d allow health tracking on is the Pebble. I really don’t like the idea of a corp having realtime heartbeat info on me.

Telling people “calm down” is a very unconstructive de-escalation tactic because it has no substance. People respond much better if you address specific conduct, explain a potential consequence, ask for something else, and then give space.
For example, when someone needs to calm down, I tell them “You’d better fix that attitude problem of yours before it gets you into trouble”, and then as soon as they begin to respond I interrupt with “Close your mouth” and I walk away. This makes people realize they’re overreacting and they calm down right away. -

I’m excited for my new Pebble to arrive, but it’ll be a few more months at least.

This makes people realize they’re overreacting and they calm down right away.“You” statements are often read as accusatory, consider the “I” statement: “I need you to calm down because I’m becoming stressed by your attitude”

Sounds like the kind of things infuriatingly rude people say and do to try and deflect from their own toxicity.

Only if you choose devices that require all data go through their servers, like a garmin.
