For you.

The health stuff is compelling and the marketing videos about lives saved are nice and all, but actual doctors are recommending Apple Watches for health monitoring.

It is sold as a watch, not health watcher though. If you want to measure health, maybe dedicated device for health measurement would be better. Some doctors love kickbacks, if you know what I mean.

They aren’t paid by Apple, and if cost is no object, they recommend an Apple Watch.

Unfortunately I now know this.

The standalone devices are interesting, but aren’t as good. Continual monitoring is a powerful tool.

It's like doctors recommending wine, where what is actually needed is walk, meditation and a handful of nuts and berries.
