Was planning to give to her solely for health tracking options. She’s not too great with technology and eyesight ain’t the greatest to use text typing on watch to respond to people. Also doesn’t quite workout much so don’t really know if step tracking is much useful even. What the watch would do primarily would be sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring. A friend of mine suggested to get a yearly heart checkup (ECG, tmt, etc) instead of investing in the watch since it’s anyways not a medical grade thing and I am skeptical now about how to go about it. Anyone with suggestions? Btw planning a 41mm Series 8 in case if that’s important.

    Bought one right around when I turned 59. Had Fitbits for a while and then a Garmin. I use it for a number of things but also in part because I wanted a better looking fitness watch than the more obvious fitness Garmins and Fitbits. No MacBook but I have an iPhone, iPad, AirPods, AirTags. Have had those first two for quite a while. By the way, I don’t feel old or out of it re. tech.

      Typing on that screen and reading off it was mostly the reasons I was worried about. What are your reviews of those other two? If they’re better at health tracking then I don’t really care about looks tbh.
