These are the dumbest things. Everyone I know who wears a watch to bed and obsesses over the “sleep score” just ends up stressed by the results, which makes them feel even more pressure to get a good score the following night. Sleep should not be gamified, it just compounds any problems that exist.
I think this comes back to the whole, not everything isfor everyone thing. For me, it just gives insight into how my sleep went and motivates me to try and stay asleep a little longer, as I have issues staying asleep. But I can definitely see how it could adversely affect others.
Big time. I’ve been training pretty hard recently, which means my sleep is critical. My watch doesn’t have a sleep “score” feature, but being able to track how much and how well I’ve slept in addition to how I feel when I wake up is pretty useful.
I’m the same. I take working out pretty seriously, so I like to see when I’m getting enough sleep for proper recovery or why when I wake up I feel like my legs are proper heavy. The watch has been a great help for me.

Fitbit’s the best you can get for sleep and their measurements aren’t particularly accurate either.
Watches and fitness bands aren’t quite there for sleep tracking, last I checked…
most, if not all, smart watch health features are like that, including heart rate. they’re just gimmicks.
