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.

    Think fall detection and location tracking. If she gets used to wearing it now it will be easier on you in a few years if she develops dementia. Trying to get a dementia patient to start wearing a tracker is difficult. But if it is already part of her daily routine, you might have better success in her wearing it and remembering to charge it.
