The Apple Watch Debate

Considering an Apple Watch to monitor O2 level Pulse and BP if it has it

I can get an alert if I’m dead

I don’t have one but got one for my mom for safety. She’s loosing mobility and health and lives alone so to track hear rare, oxygen and have sos calls if she falls or simply if she wants to contact someone for an emergency is priceless.

she feels very safe with it

I've worn an Apple Watch 4 for several years, but only when I sleep as I track my sleep with AutoSleep. There's a sister program called AutoWake which is (obviously) and alarm but it has many options including sleep goals and waking only when in light sleep. With exception that the wake program disconnects from the phone's health data on a regular basis (there's an algorithm to restore, but it's not trivial) it works incredibly well.

One thing I've learned is that I think I've been awake for hours, but actually only woke several times in the period, getting much more sleep than I thought.

I haven't tried Apple's sleep tracker as mine has everything I need.

If it broke, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

If it broke, for your specific use case and interests, I’d strongly recommend looking instead at the Oura ring 👍 it’s pretty powerful for sleep and rest info
