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 😄

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 noticing!”

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

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.

This comment section has revealed that a disturbing amount of Lemmy is insufficiently paranoid

You weren't able to understand until that moment?

My Fitbit like to congratulate me on getting so many In The Zone minutes. I'm not working out, but thanks I guess?

I had the same reaction when my my Google Assistant told me that while it was not a real person that my words are real

DHL forgives you

That and "smile". These make me wanna maim the guys who tells me this.

I kinda like it when my watch tells me that im stressed out and to do a breathing exercise. it helps me realize that I'm probably upset over absolutely nothing in the heat of a moment.

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.

Watch was right. No point getting upset over work.
