Tech companies are doing that. It's legacy health companies that have been trying to sell glucose monitoring watches (Masimo, etc.). Apple is not marketing their device as that because their tech is not yet ready. As usual you can count on modern tech companies to be better for everyone. Good for Apple.

What?? Apple fans are still bitter at Masimo, evidently. Masimo doesn't sell a glucose monitoring watch[1]. And is not trying to. The continuous health devices they do sell ARE FDA-cleared, because Masimo makes 99%+ of their revenue from selling accurate medical devices. That would be, to use a crude analogy, dangling your private parts within snapping distance of a crocodile. Your whole statement is just inaccurate and derogatory. The W1 watch doesn't do glucometry. It does heart rate and oximetry, with FDA clearance. The upcoming Freedom watch will also do hydration, pulse rate variability, respiration. And will do all of those with FDA clearance. And not glucometry. Your whole stance is not grounded in reality.

  If you want to carry water for a predatory corporation so be it. There's a reason your comment sounds like an ad.

    Hah. I have an Apple Watch, basically everything Appple has released except the AVP. Pro Display, cheesegrater Pro, Studio. And you can verify that from my comment history way way back. But that doesn't mean Apple wasn't predatory here. What they did with Masimo was straight up "brain-rape" (from Silicon Valley). The $7B Masimo was "predatory" to poor $3T Apple? Hah, laughable. And to top it off, I provided factual rebuttals to your inaccurate and false assertions. So you come back with what? An ad hom that basically accuses me of being astro-turf for "legacy healthcare"? Fuck outta here.

      If you can't be civil there's no reason to respond. Don't swear at me.
