    It is all complete BS. Bet the victim has obesity and pretty much already in heart rate failure risk. All these obese people close to hear failures obviously wear all these trackers, so while they eat their shit on a couch can tell of something can go wrong and no need to worry about it, cause watch will "save" them. Absolute nonsense. For healthy people you will never need anything like that, typical Apple PR stunt.

                LOL. Sales is not the whole story.

                You can't expect a company that operates in the hign end/expensive sector to sell more than the consumer/budget oriented companies.

                In other news McDonald's sell more burgers than Gordon Ramsey.

                I have never seen a high end Huawei phone. Only low end.
                Plus Xiaomi is not even considered a brand in most countries in the west 😂

                    However, it shouldn't be ignored or called lousy. Apple have to continue improving it, the alerts and alarms should be learned, tweaked and personalized for each person, so false alarm is kept minimum.

                    For now, its better to have false alerts, pay fines, then to die suddenly without help.

                      In my country if i call for medical assistance because my smartwatch sends me alerts i would probably get fined for making jokes and taking up emergency responders valuable time.

                        Tachycardia is rarely life-threatening. As usual, things get blown out of proportion on social media.

                          I have no sympathy for humans. We deserve our fate.

                              Saving your life is a really nice feature. Why aren't Android smartwatch manufactures adding it too?

                                        Apple products are expensive. However each of the products received very long support. Each product will enhance your experience.

                                        Before iOS12, the OS lags bad, thus to stay in Apple land, you need $$$$.

                                        After iOS12, they improved performance, making upgrading yearly or two year not a requirement anymore. With that, choice opened, you can buy Apple Watch, Airpods or iPad.
