I have a brightling navitimer for a dress watch and wear an Apple Watch6 for my day-to-day activities. The Apple Watch recently saved me from a major health problem and maybe my life. I am 70 years old and in good shape, People constantly tell me I look 55. I was sitting watching TV with no symptoms, when my heart for no good reason went into afib. I couldn’t feel it, I couldn’t tell, but my watch started dinging like crazy and telling me I was in afib. Knowing afib can cause clots and stroke, I went down to the ER and indeed I was in Afib.They immediately admitted me to the cardiac wing and the next morning, I had a cardioversion shock treatment which put me back to normal, the cardiologist said he really believed in the watch, and believed it helped beat the stroke/damage. I’m a believer. Whatever smartwatch you buy, if you’re over 55, get one that monitors your health functions, they work.
