We have a history of heart problems in our family. My mothers doctor just recommended to her to get some type of fitness band that can track her heart rate 24/7. Because this will link to her Galaxy S5 or any phone, this looks like a good idea.
It is near the end of the end....

Good thing I bought the warranty

It was stated in the article (and my previous post) that this would also work on Android and iOS. Personally, I'm excited for this kind of tech! I've worn a watch on my wrist every day of my life for the past 12 years. I think a smartwatch would be a great option for me once I get a smartphone. Yeah, I'm still stuck in 2007 with a buttoned phone with no touchscreen. In particular, I've been eyeing Sony's Smartwatch 2. It has a good balance of price/performance, and works on all Android devices. (Samsung's Galaxy Gear only works on Galaxy phones) |
I just bought a Xperia E1, probably the cheapest phone Sony have on the market right now. In price, that is, cause the device is awesome.
If this thing works with that, then I will consider.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
I don't like the cloud thing (not only MS producs)
I bet in few years the health insurance companies.. will get/buy the info.. And not just them.. also banks and other who wants to know how long we will live (estimated)
And you know.. Your physical condition is the last thing "they" need.. So they have everything..
AND i bet 100% that we will not have the option to be anonymous.. they will demand a creditcard..
Meaning MS will paire all the info they have (and buy from others.. share with google and so) and have a complete picture of the user..
Makes me wonder how Nintendo will push theirs now.
"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

Consider getting her one of those bluetooth 4.0-enabled heart rate monitors strapped to the chest instead.
Prices start at about 30 dollars (so much cheaper than a MS band), and ultimately they are much more precise than smartwatch-integrated solutions. Also, their battery lasts for ages, while the MS band's battery will only last a maximum of 2 days. And these heart rate monitors are using a popular bluetooth standard, so they are usually perfectly compatible, and you will easily find dozens of different smartphone apps supporting the device to choose from, whatever model you pick.
The only disadvantage they have is that some of them may not work well during sleep, because lying on the side might cause these straps to lose body contact. But since it's for monitoring heart problems, the focus probably isn't on heart rate during sleep anyway.
