unpopular opinion: my smartwatch made me more anxious, not healthier

Got one last year mostly for sleep tracking. Within a month I was checking my heart rate during meetings, waking up and immediately reading my "sleep score" to decide how tired I should feel, and getting low-key stressed when the ring didn't close.

I'm a doctor and I KNOW these numbers aren't diagnoses. Still got sucked in. Took it off two weeks ago and honestly I sleep the same, I just don't get graded on it. Anyone else quit theirs? Or am I using it wrong?
