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.

Can a Garmin even run apps? It’s a completely different product.

There's been a Garmin app store for twice as long as Apple has been making watches.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/

It's not at all a different product. It's a direct competitor who makes a superior product.

Again -- I've had a smart watch that does all the shit apple watch does, for half a decade before apple even thought about it. And mine can go a month without charging.
