Isn't EKG different from ECG?

Nah. Same thing with two different acronyms.

What’s the Difference Between ECG and EKG?

The fact of the matter is that an ECG and an EKG are the exact same thing. That’s right, the most surprising difference between an ECG and an EKG is that there is no difference at all.  Both ECG and EKG stand for electrocardiogram.

So, if an ECG is the same thing as an EKG, then why are there two different abbreviations? It’s actually quite simple—when the word electrocardiogram is translated into the German language, it is spelled Elektro-kardiographie. EKG is just the way some people choose to say ECG based on this translation.

I didn't even know about the German spelling but I've mostly seen EKG going back to my youth so I tend to use both acronyms interchangeably.

I think we all wish the watch had a 2-3 day battery life

Mine does.

Like you, I even wear it to sleep but my reason is so I can  monitor my sleep habits via a Watch app that uploads in the morning after I take it out of Airplane Mode. I don't usually need alarms since I'm usually up by 4–5am everyday regardless and any places I have to be are always later in the day, except for the occasional early flight in which the Watch is great for a personal alarm. I only wish the standing hour vibrations were more powerful as I often miss those if I'm engaged in something.

While I can get over 2 days I rarely have to take that risk since I charge it while performing my daily ablutions. That is more than enough time for me to charge, although I usually shower twice a day so that does double the time compared to most people.

Perhaps you find this disagreeable, but if you disable Raise to Wake during the day you get considerably more battery life.

Edit: I’m guessing I need the latest 1Password. Another reason to consider upgrading. 

I believe it's a free upgrade that doesn't require a subscription to get this useful new feature..

I skipped the series 3 watch as the only thing new in it was cellular and that would increase my monthly cell bill by $10 a month if I turned it on. But the series 4 has a ton of new features plus as mine is going on three years I would guess that its battery will need replacing soon. I got the cellular version just in case I decide that I want it but you don't have have to turn it on. Plus I really like the Black Nike Sport loop band and Apple is giving me $125 for my old series 2 watch. I'm hoping that I can keep the Nike band that came with my Nike series 2 watch along with its charger when I send my old watch back for a credit.

Depending on your location, emergency services (9-1-1, for me) will still work even if you don't ever link it to your cellular plan.

Am I getting confused here or does the series 4 watch no longer come with the option of a sapphire crystal front?

Last year they started using sapphire backs, instead of plastic, for the Sport models that included GPS+Cellular, and this year they've made all Watch models have a sapphire crystal back while all the front glass is "Ion-X Strengthened Glass."

Not True. Stainless steel have sapphire crystal front if you look at the specs.

I could've missed it but I'm not seeing it mentioned anywhere. Do you have a link?

edit: I was able to find it on their order page.
