My smartwatch spotted a health glitch, and now I'm oddly fine with all the data it hoovers up
I got a smartwatch last year that logs my heart rate and sleep patterns without stopping. My buddies laughed and called it a privacy nightmare. Then one morning, it buzzed with a warning about a weird heartbeat spike overnight. I checked with my doctor, who said it was early signs of something we could now watch. That moment made me rethink my fear of constant tracking. Yes, some company has my health stats, but it gave me a heads-up I needed. Most folks in my circle would never allow this, but I see the trade-off as smart. How do you balance real benefits against privacy worries?
