Smart Watches,,

Smart Watches,, for Geriatrics?

SO, In ten days, I will mark my 75th successful circumnavigational trip around the Sun.

Being a tad OCD,, I have thought I should look at a device that can warn me of impending medical emergencies that can potentially be terminal and a collection point for medical info. eg: heart rate, sleeping cycles, O2 levels, and heart irregularities (ECG/EKG).

Most of the current "Smart Watches" are geared toward fitness. For this reason, I have discounted the "FitBit" style. In my perception, I see them as collectors of athletic-type info and not medical warning devices.

Currently, I am focused on the Apple Series 8 and Ultra, although I have read a bit about the Garmin Epix 2 & Feniz 7X

My Notes:
1)Apple 8 and Ultra are feature equals
2)The Ultra is larger, heavier, and has twice the battery time,, also twice the price.

I am currently leaning toward the Apple 8 41mm.


Please opine.. g
