What it was like to give up my Apple Watch after three years of constant use
Just want to let everyone know how accurate the heart rate monitor is on the Apple Watch 2. I got the watch for working out at the gym but a heart murmur that became heart prolapse surgery required a valve repair. The open heart surgery affected my rhythm and required medication to prevent afib so the watch tells me if i forgot to take my medication extremely well. I have become very dependent on it for that reason. Please consult your doctor though. Other reasons i like it are voice to text seems better, vibrate wrist for taking turns using maps, adjusting volume on iTunes for wireless headphones. -

Stanford study finds Apple Watch top-notch heart rate monitor, mediocre calorie counter
I found these results to be consistent with my Apple Watch 2 about 6 months ago when I needed open heart surgery for a Mitral Valve Prolapse. My heart was going into A Fib at 120-180 bpm when I got to the hospital and was monitoring it with their equipment. It was strange because if I stood up my heart would go back into normal rhythm to about 80 bpm and the Apple Watch was always within 1 bpm to the hospital equipment. Today I monitor my heart rate regularly with the Apple Watch and it helps remind me when I haven't taken my Metoprolol medication if its too high. -
