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.

#3I 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.

#4Yes, if I can use the smartwatch with free software, i.e., be sure that this data will not be misused.

What does the software being free or paid have to do with the data being or not being misused?

#7No, I wouldn't want any of that. It's too personal. Especially wouldn't want it fed to some AI thing that I don't personally control.
My Samsung watch has something to measure stress, but it does it automatically and seems to think I'm stressed all the time (but maybe it's right lol)
