I read it was not easy to get FDA clearance for the watch, first EKG device of its kind. I’m more interested in their future watch with blood pressure sensor (already patented), I think it would be more useful for most. I am new to the watch myself and I see great potential in this device but I think it’s still not there and poor battery life really annoys me.
