Was planning to give to her solely for health tracking options. She’s not too great with technology and eyesight ain’t the greatest to use text typing on watch to respond to people. Also doesn’t quite workout much so don’t really know if step tracking is much useful even. What the watch would do primarily would be sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring. A friend of mine suggested to get a yearly heart checkup (ECG, tmt, etc) instead of investing in the watch since it’s anyways not a medical grade thing and I am skeptical now about how to go about it. Anyone with suggestions? Btw planning a 41mm Series 8 in case if that’s important.
My 86 year old dad has one and he’s not very techy at all. The only problem we have with him wearing it is charging it. Sometimes he forgets to put it back on when he takes it off to charge. It called me and the police this summer when he had a UTI (we didn’t know this at the time) and he fell. He was completely disoriented. We were able to tell that his heart rate had not dropped before the episode, which helped eventually figure out that he had a UTI and not a heart attack or passed out for some other reason. Totally worth it. He can also use it to answer the phone when I call if he’s not near his cell or the house phone.
