  1. Let’s talk electrocardiograms: Apple uses the abbreviation ECG, whereas AP style (which CNET uses) calls it EKG, which derives from the German electrokardiogram. These terms mean the same thing.

  6. I wonder how much Apple payed for this video? It is infuriating how Apple is being singled out here as if they invented this functionality or as if the Apple Watch is the only watch that has this feature. 2-electrode ECG devices have existed for decades now and were already present on some smart-watches before….. there's just one difference:
    The PRICE! A 2-way ECG handheld device can be bought for 30$… and is actually a lot more usefull since you're not restricted to a single lead like the apple watch is. The watch will only ever measure lead I.

    Don't get me wrong; the function is great! But Apple should absolutely NOT get credit for it. The technology has existed many many years earlier and was already available on some smart-watches which cost less than 1/8 of an Apple watch.

    Give credit to those who deserve it…. not to one of the most greedy companies that exist.

    And shame on you CNET for deceiving your audience by not disclosing the actual function of this video. In a just world, where companies would actually be held acountable, this could get you into major trouble.

  10. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Apple watch! I too recently discovered I have Afib. Last year, my apple watch woke me up at 5 am with the atrial fibrillation alert. I initially ignored it until it alerted me again an hour later. I went to my doctor and sure enough they confirmed the diagnosis! I've been taking medications and following up with my doctor every month since then. I am very thankful! Very well done Apple!!

  15. If it wasn’t for the doctor to interpret the data, she would not have known. In other words, she still needs a doctors visit. Might as well just go to the doctor to begin with.

  17. This is nice… until you consider all the data they are sharing with insurance providers and third party apps within their network. Then it’s* low key terrifying the future applications of such data.
