The health stuff is a bit overblown anyway. On a day to day level it’s just junk data.
There’s so much variation between both between people and also for one person just depending on how they feel that you can’t tell what a particular number means.
There’s some argument that heart rate is useful for high-end cardio, where you want to keep track of exactly which heart rate band you’re in to be sure that you’re at capacity but still clearing all the lactate from your system. However, given how much these numbers can vary if you haven’t slept fully or you have a bit of a cold, or you overate, you’re probably better off learning to pace yourself.
