Apple Watch

Hello,

I use the Apple Watch to monitor my heart ♥️ rate and take ECGs when I feel palpitations; PAC’sand PVC’s. It also can pick up inconclusive rhythms and my father-in-law uses his for his atrial fib and says it’s very accurate. I also take my pulse and feel the EKG is very accurate. I would love to hear all other opinions on the Apple Watch...🙏🏼Thank you

I think they are a great assistant and have given me the confidence to argue for better care.  They are starting to be recognized by some Cardiologists as another tool in the box.  I have tested mine against ECG, fingers and Holter and it has same results - wish it could do blood pressure too. 

surprisingly accurate

I was shocked how accurate it is. I've been paced a long time and have never had a sports heart rate monitor that worked for me. I got the watch mainly for running so I don't have to take my phone with me, working heart rate feature was a nice bonus.  It's helped me work out my run/walk intervals. I used to go strictly by how I felt and if I could talk, now I glance at the watch and know if I need to walk more or can run again so I never get to where I feel bad anymore. Kinda cool :o)

You know you're wired when...

You can feel your fingers and toes again.
