There is no imternationally recognised concept of sovereign nationhood for any of the constituent parts of the UK. UK is the sovereign country. England/Wales/Scotland/NI are constituent parts of the UK.

I guess my point is that a smart watch already collects much of this data, and in many cases far more than a ring. Not sure why ppl are only getting worked up about the privacy issues now when smart watches have been around for years.
