Should a smartwatch track the user's emotions?

2•accofrisk•1h ago

Do you think a smartwatch needs an emotion tracking chart that includes the following parameters: Anxiety, Depression, Relaxation, Fear, Positivity, Anger, Stress, Sadness, and Mania. We are planning to introduce this feature in our AI watches and would love to get feedback from potential users.

Hard no!

I don't think users are going to want to input that directly, but if it inferred it somehow that would be neat. Of course there's also the issue of data privacy, but I'm sure you're aware of that.

Yes, if I can use the smartwatch with free software, i.e., be sure that this data will not be misused.
