Wearables
Your £200+ wearable knows you slept badly. Then what?
The short version
- It measures brilliantly
- Then it stops
- Because it can't see the rest
- The missing layer is the decision
It measures brilliantly
HRV, resting heart rate, sleep stages, strain. The data quality is genuinely excellent.
Then it stops
'Recovery: 54%.' Okay… and? Train? Rest? Eat more? Your ring doesn't say.
Because it can't see the rest
It doesn't know your training plan, your body composition trend, or what you ate. No context, no call.
The missing layer is the decision
Recovery data is only useful when something turns it into today's action: push, build, maintain, or recover.
