Since we’re proclaiming our opinions about whether or not we think tracking our sleep is important/useful/beneficial, I’ll state that I think it is. I’ve been using a third party app on my Apple Watch ever since I got the watch and I’ve found it to be very helpful, largely because I often don’t sleep well. 

And there are times when I wake up thinking I didn’t sleep well at all, but the app tells me that I actually did. It’s silly, but it actually makes me feel better. 

What’s the harm in all of this? I’m looking forward to seeing how Apple does this. I expect good things.

It sounds like you're measuring sleep quality rather than (just) sleep duration.

That's not only a different ball game, I didn't see any indication that this Apple Watch feature will do that.

Surely it will as Sleep Cycle does that now. The phone's microphone listens to breathing while watch accelerometers measure how fidgety you are.

I've been using Sleep Cycle since November 2018. My sole wish for the next watchOS is to automatically turn off the flashlight. About once a month, I use the flashlight function while using the can in the, um, wee hours, then awake to discover the battery is at 3 percent.

"... Ive preferred the concept of the N421 glasses, which would keep users grounded in reality while beaming maps and messages into their field of vision."

I will never be grounded in reality!

I could just be wracked with multiple superiority complexes, but I suspect owners of non-Apple devices are more easily satisfied because they have lower expectations. ("I can text and make calls. I'm satisfied.")

I grew up typing on an Olympia SG-3, making every computer keyboard a magical experience.

I might even have enjoyed a PCjr keyboard had I the chance.
