[QUOTE="desiibond, post: 2356242, member: 23023"] There is a catch here. You need to have an iPhone to use an Apple Watch. It will not work with Android. I have not used/tested these so would not know. But such devices that are strapped to the chest have lot better accuracy than wrist watches. Same reason why doctors use stethoscope to check your heartbeat, not wrist band or anything. Chest is where you get most accurate heart beat as the beat is clearly audible there. But it has its own headaches as not everyone is comfortable. Most of Samsung's latest watches features are activated only when you use a compatible "Samsung" phone. Even the Garmin chest strap needs compatible Garmin device to sync data to. You also have to check which of these devices have continuous heart rate monitoring. I have Amazfit GTR 2e. Readings change accordingly to how tight the watch is, where on the wrist the watch is. It even used to show under 70bpm when my heart was pounding at its highest heartbeat. Reason: it was not strapped at the right location on wrist. This is how bad these 'me too' wrist watches are. For every ride I take, the readings are all over the place (constantly moving, sweat, watch shakes etc). Did you get a diagnosis from your doctor regarding your father's condition? Without this, you are just shooting in the dark. The best person who can give you suggestion on what kind of monitoring is requires is the doctor who checked your father. [/QUOTE]
