You can get Gentle Wakeup app for $5 on your phone and follow Dr. Huberman's optimal morning routine for free. Go get 20 minutes of sunshine when you wake up, and stop scrolling Youtube/Instagram at 5 AM.

Stop eating shit, change up your diet and lifestyle and incorporate 20 minutes of exercise everyday, and you will not need heartrate tracking, or hourly reminders to hydrate or move your ass.

This is the neurophysiological advice I gave.

All you did was give cookie-cutter advice. If you want to speak strictly from a population perspective, fine. On an individual level, though, this is dogshit advice because it's devoid of nuance. Someone who works 2 or 3 jobs isn't going to have time for 20 minutes of decent exercise [...] Someone who's a single parent working minimum wage [...] Someone with broken legs can't run, walk, or play most sports [...] People with mental conditions like Autism and ADHD

Firstly, you are the epitome of clowns if you think $500 smartwatch ewaste is helping anyone with those kinds of issues over serious neurological, physiological and psychological advice, which would be very close to what I gave, and NOT BUYING $500 TECH JUNK NOT FIT FOR PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS. People with these conditions are the exception, and no such people will ever be told to even consider junk smartwatches. If my advice was "general" advice, so is yours. (Spoiler: its not, my advice is medically backed and atleast 50x more applicable than yours.)

People with physical disabilities usually have some form of gear or prosthetics to be able to move around unless there is complete paralysis. ADHD people are even riskier since smartwatches overload you with unnecessary statistics. Someone who works multiple jobs still has 20 minutes of free time to exercise and another 20 to get some sunshine, this is complete utter bullshit.

Sleep through alarms? Your watch can vibrate and wake you up. Anger issues? Your watch can tell you when you need to cool down with breathing exercises. Sitting too long because you're working? Your watch can tell you to take walking breaks. In your view, the alternative is probably to simply set a timer to take a walking break.

You know what is far superior to a watch with two millimetres thick vibration motor? Your ears being able to hear sound. Gentle Wakeup alarm app is made by a doctor, is based on lots of things like circadian rhythms, REM cycles, emulating sunlight, emulating sounds of natural environments, serotonin levels, and I am using it since 2017. A smartwatch is doing none of that, and is not made by doctors, or can wake you up without breaking your REM cycles. I am sure you will bring examples of someone who is both deaf and blind, which will just make me ignore anything you say.

If you have anger management issues, therapy and meditation is a must, and smartwatch is not saving someone going around punching or stabbing people. Asylum exists for them.

Shit, did I forget some people can have allergy strapping rubber or clothing or metal on their wrists, since you are using that logic?

A smartwatch is not solving problems realistically, because it did not exist until very recently. It is a novelty luxury and a fashion gadget, not a tool for ANY person with ANY medical condition. A smartwatch is in no form or shape a necessity for any person, and far superior physical monitoring tools for strapping to body exist, that are medically backed and certified for relevant patients. Telling people with medical conditions to waste $500 every 2 years on ewaste is fucking [REDACTED], because that is what you are advocating, thinking your little pseudointellectual monologue is convincing.

Unless you reply anything substantial, medically backed and coherent, I will just ignore any of your dumbass ramblings.
