No she has iPhone but I don't.. that's what I meant

Good idea.. setup is not a problem I live close by but I'm an android guy so don't know all the details that are there about the watch. Someone suggested to get one for myself as well but that would be too much for me rn

Thanks for sharing

Typing on that screen and reading off it was mostly the reasons I was worried about. What are your reviews of those other two? If they're better at health tracking then I don't really care about looks tbh.

I just don't know if that feature would be useful at workplace around people.

[–] PT_024@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fair enough.. guess I'll get her one as well

Is talking feature useful if the person is in a workplace like setting and doesn't have earpods? Won't others hear the talking and you'll be prompted to get the phone anyway?

The thing is that I asked a friend of mine in med school and she was the one who suggested that an apple or any other watch should not be a substitute for medical heal checkup and a real ecg, eco and tmt are always better than relying on fitness trackers. So I was wondering whether to get it or not..

That seems like a decent use case. Thanks for sharing

So I can track her from my android if she's wearing the watch?

[–] PT_024@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do you find charging it everyday a hassle and how about the text readability?

[–] PT_024@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's a fair point. I see that fall detection is the feature that most pick here.

 

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.
