Honestly most specialized people are usually shit at other “normal” stuff. I work with Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, and other specialized professionals who are all really good at what they do.

Most of them struggle with basic things that us normies must know.

I would never subject an individual to an Apple product.

I went to several cardiologists who didn’t interpret my ekg readings correctly. Apple Watch told me I had an issue and needed to go to emergency room. I listened and they admitted me right away after discovering I had grade 3 heart block and had to get a pace maker put in. So yeah. At this point I trust gadgets better then some cardiologists.

That’s probably why GOP is against them haha

MOAR DOPAMEAN SCHLAVES!

Upvote for the humor….but I promise from 2 decades of experience….what i said is true.

There's something about professionals that they often turn their brains off when they're off the clock. I work in the oil industry and the site workers are in full fireproof overalls, steel cap boots, hard hat and safety glasses. But then they go home and mow the lawns in sandals.

Love it. Thanks for the smile right before bed. Is that what it feels like to have a good friend? Is that what everyone is searching for on social media?

Same, I have a Series 3 which is definitely not fast charging but still manage to wear it basically all day and night. I usually charge when showering and maybe 30 min before going to bed (for example when laying down and reading a book, not much activity to track for the watch so I don’t miss anything).

When Apple watch was relatively new I was at the office and one of the guys was stressed, yelling and going off to himself about some project which is common for him to do ... Then he suddenly stops yelling mid sentence ... A few seconds later we hear him quietly say "my apple watch says I have an elevated heart rate and I need to relax".

We all cracked up so bad.

I think I was around 8 when this was constantly on TV but reading it I can suddenly hear it again.

So this doctor does a dumb ass thing by climbing on his window because the ladder won't reach, and his advice is "buy a watch" instead of "don't climb on your window"?

And then later on, he explains that an apple watch could have saved the life of someone who slipped in the shower? One of the few times we're almost guaranteed to take off all our clothes, jewelry, and accessories?

doctor is a crazy apple person.

life alert doesn't call 911, though. It puts you in touch with their dispatchers who can then call 911.

If it's a false activation, they respond and you say "Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction. But, everything's perfectly alright now. We're... fine. We're all fine here now. Thank you. How are you?" Then they ask for your operating number and you shoot the control panel.

I’m begin to wonder why my Apple Watch didn’t warn me about 9/11

Let's just file this under "No shit Sherlock" shall we?

HELP! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!

Sad that people have become so lonely that the only way they can get help is when their watch sends a notification

You can! I have one and it fast charges while I shower in the morning. I sleep with it and wear it all day too.

9to5 is really going all out on these Apple health ads, I mean articles. This is like the 10th one I've seen since Sunday.

Funny how they used to say it would make u dumb. Jokes on them!!!!

Does any of the competition have the same features?

Apple Watch SE is the value proposition

But if you are gonna do it wear a device that has fall detection
