  • Masimo, the company that sued Apple over patent infringement, has unveiled its own blood oxygen monitoring smartwatch called the Masimo Freedom.
  • The Masimo Freedom is a health-focused device that can track blood oxygen levels, hydration index, respiration rate, pulse rate variability, pulse rate, steps, and detect falls.
  • The smartwatch is currently in prototype stage and will be available for sale later this year at a price of $999.

Charging $999 for a watch is the next idea Apple will steal from them.

It isn’t even an official price.

Price is for United States only and is subject to change based on final design, specifications, and features.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Well, that definitely means the price will go up then.

The Apple Watch Ultra already costs that much, doesn't it?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really? That's insane.

No it doesn’t, it’s $200 cheaper.

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Ah - it's $1000 CAD. That's where I was mistaken. USD it would be about $200 cheaper like you mentioned.
