- Low-profile/unobtrusive form factor
- Accurate sleep stage detection (REM, Deep, Light)
- Long battery life (to avoid nightly charging)
Prioritize
Physical comfort for 24/7 wear: Bulky watches are often removed at night, leading to data gaps.
Automatic sleep/nap detection accuracy: Users want a 'set-it-and-forget-it' experience that catches all rest periods.
Deprioritize
GPS and outdoor tracking features: GPS is unnecessary for a device primarily used overnight.
Real-time workout displays: Screens are a distraction and can wake the user during sleep.
