I stopped caring about wellness trackers ever since the FIRST FitBit. Once you get an idea of what 10K steps feel like, it really becomes redundant at that point.

This personal optimization fad is exhausting. We already get enough "data-driven" at work - I don't need that in off-hours.

Listen to your body and stop converting every minute of your life into numbers. Maybe lift up your head and listen to the world for a second once in a while, instead of planting your face in another screen.

Agreed. It's motivational for some people, and that's great, but the "data driven" information it gives you fails to pass the "use your brain" baseline.
