I'm thinking about doing a project on stress tracking. I don't own a tracking device yet, so right now I am trying to determine which device I should buy.
== Motivations and goals ==
I would like to understand better how my subjective mood relates to physical symptoms, and what influences my stress levels.
== Variables to track potentially ==
* Heart rate (HRV, resting heart rate)
* Sleep quality
* EDA
* activity
* additional/not necessarily with device: subjective rating of mood/stress level, journaling (activities of the day/calendar, thoughts)
== Tracking devices ==
Thoughts on which tracking device to buy.
=== Criteria ===
* If possible, no paid subscription.
* less than 200 €
* I don't need functionality like answering calls, integration of spotify etc.
* A summary score for stress (e.g. on Fitbit sense and charge 5) would be handy, but is maybe not necessary, because I can calculate it myself from single metrics.
=== List of devices ===
* Fitbit Sense
** + has stress management score and EDA
** - expensive, paid subscription necessary, I would prefer a smaller screen
* Fitbit Charge 5
** + has stress manamgement score and EDA, small screen
** - paid subscription necessary
* Fitbit Charge 4
** + no paid subscription necessary (?), small screen
** - no EDA, no stress management score
