Hi there,
I heard that getting a smart watch can be useful for measuring and regulating anxiety levels. Can anyone recommend a good watch for this?
I'd like it to read my heart rate and be able to alert me when it thinks I am getting stressed so I can take action before it gets too bad. It would also be really helpful to be able to see a graph of my heart rate over the day so I can look back and see what my stress triggers were and what helped to reduce my stress. I often find watches irritating to wear so it would have to be super comfortable. I think the Garmin watches are supposed to be comfortable and do the above accurately, but they come in at quite a hefty price. I'm not interested in having GPS and advanced functions to do with fitness training, so I wonder if anyone can recommend a good stress-tracking watch that doesn't involve paying for all these extra functions?
Thanks in advance
Claire
I’ve heard good things about models from Garmin, especially for their comfort and accuracy. If you’re looking for something simpler, you might check out a few options from Fitbit or even some budget brands. They often have heart rate monitoring and stress alerts without all the extra features you don’t need.
