Wearable device recommendations

Hi all, long-time suspected hEDS and formally diagnosed as of yesterday.

One of the things my wonderful specialist stressed is that pacing is going to be one of the most important things for me to think about day to day.

The issue is, I know that, and I'm terrible at it. So, I'm looking to invest in a wearable device that can act as a reminder for me. I've heard good things about the Oura ring but I'm open to any and all suggestions. I have an Apple Watch which is great for basic stats but I don't find it useful as a reminder to take it easy.

I'm also AuDHD which means that my internal hyperactivity is constantly battling with my intense fatigue, and as soon as I have a good day I want to do all the tasks I've been neglecting, and try and do fun things like actually leaving the house, which then sets me straight back into a flare. I also try to gaslight myself into thinking I'm not as bad as I am, with the same result.

I'm hoping some kind of device can act as a sensible third party, so if it says I'm under it and I need to rest, I'm more likely to do that. Recommendations much appreciated!
