Re: Breakup, as captured by my fitbit
#2I once left my fitbit in the wash (and then dryer) and was wondering why I was suddenly getting all these "congrats on hitting your steps goal!" alerts on my phone.

#3Perhaps if everyone tagged their breakup moments on their fitbits then fitbit could mass-process the preceding few months / weeks to find a common pattern.
You show up a few minutes early to the restaurant and your fitbit can just let you know what's about to happen.

#4Doesn't say which side of the breakup he was on.

#5Not a Fitbit, but I do have a Microsoft Band, which tracks, among other things, your galvanic skin response. I still haven't found any real use for this data, but I have noted that resistivity definitely plummets in response to stressful events, even if I'm not sweating enough to consciously notice it. I once looked at the daily graph and noticed a dip right when our application started throwing errors while I was on-call :)
Again, I don't know what use this is, but physiological data is just fascinating in its own right.

I'm thinking the receiving end. I would expect a sense of relief in the person doing the breaking and not the lingering effects.

#7My heart rate data has been similarly interesting. For example, I'm a musician for my church band. You can see the spike when I'm doing the lead vocals on a song I don't know that well.
It repeats in each of the three services. :)

#8This is fascinating (and sad), but it makes me wonder, could police use your fitness tracker as a sort of poor-mans polygraph? i.e. interview a subject normally, and then get a warrant (or not get a warrant) to view the online data and correlate them after the fact? Wikipedia mentions "blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity" as parameters for a polygraph [1], and while fitbit only supports 2/4 right now, the goal of fitness tracking is to have all of those. Whether or not polygraphs even work is another question, but being able to do them secretly and without consent is scary none the less.

#9Doesn't say which side of the breakup he was on.
If the side isn't mentioned then I'll assume he called it off. The increase in heart rate is probably from duper's delight
