Inquiring minds want to know


Thank you all for the input.


I settled on the Series 8 and pulled the trigger last nite.

An Aside: I watched several YT vids on ECG/EKG and one that reviewed the Apple by a cardiologist. For those that are curious.

I lost the link, but I watched one vid that suggested that you can emulate I, II, II, aVF, aVL, and aVR by moving the watch to different areas of the body. I don't see that as very useful to a non-medical job description, but if you get lost in the jungle, it may be helpful.
I thought it might be handy if I fell off a ladder, fortunately I have never had the opportunity. But I have activated the fall alert when slapping my hands down on a surface and when trying to knock a piece of drywall loose with my hand, I guess you could those false positives.
