Linq loop recorder

Just got the linq recorder taken out friday. I had it for 2 1/2 years to try and diagnose unexplaned fainting it didnt pick up anything so I decide to have it out but now Im kinda regretting it. So was wondering if anybody has a smart watch that records hr. Like does anyone have the apple watch series 4 i heard its fda approved?

I have the series 4 and it's pretty darned accurate. It can be set to let you know if your heart rate drops below a given point. It works with an app called Cardiogram.

edited to add I don't have that turned on so have no experience with the alarm. With the pacer it would be impossible for me to set it off because my rate will never drop. It's been great helping me figure out running intervals that keep my average heart rate in a good range.

Arm monitors are more accurate but intended for workout only. Watches are for all the time.

I wasn't trying to say the arm bands wouldn't work, just that for someone intending to wear it as an alarm around the clock long term, a watch is a lot more practical and comfortable. I was talking patient comfort pov, not effectiveness of the technology.
