My Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Told Me I Was 'Unfit for Work' After a Bad Night's Sleep

I'm a musician in Atlanta. I work late nights at a recording studio, and I have a newborn daughter at home. Sleep is a luxury for me right now. I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 because I wanted to track my health. I wanted to make sure I was getting enough rest, even though I knew I wasn't. The watch was supposed to help me understand my sleep patterns. I thought it would give me valuable insights into my health. I was curious about my sleep cycles and how my lifestyle was affecting my body. One morning, after a particularly rough night with my daughter, I woke up feeling exhausted. I checked my watch, and it told me I had a 27% readiness score and that I was 'unfit for work.' I had to go to work anyway. The AI didn't understand that babies don't care about sleep scores. I couldn't just call in sick because my watch said I was unfit. I had a recording session scheduled with an important client. I couldn't cancel it because my watch thought I was tired. I tried to turn off the readiness feature. I set the watch to not track sleep. I disabled every notification that I could find. The watch keeps turning the features back on after updates. It's like the AI is determined to judge me. It constantly tells me I'm stressed when I'm just having a normal day. It tells me I need to take a break when I'm in the middle of a recording session. I've started to dread looking at my watch in the morning. I know it's going to tell me something negative. It's like having a robot therapist that hates me. I've started ignoring the watch's notifications. I've even considered taking the watch off when I'm at work. But I want to track my health. I just don't want to be judged. I've also started to question the accuracy of the watch. How does a watch know if I'm fit for work? It doesn't know what I do for a living. It doesn't know that I can function on 4 hours of sleep. It's just a piece of technology making assumptions about my life. I've tried alternative fitness trackers on Amazon but nothing works as well for health tracking. I've read about quitting social media for 6 months and how technology is supposed to make our lives better. My watch is making my life worse. Is your smartwatch a judgmental nag too? Mine thinks I'm a failure every morning. I'm starting to think that the watch is trying to gaslight me into thinking I'm unhealthy. Maybe I should just go back to a regular watch and trust my own body instead of a piece of technology.
