What is the best and most economical apple watch to buy to monitor hr 25 hrs/day. just had ablation and in nsr but Dr wants continues monitor for afib over next 90 days going to try Costco
Apple Watch : What is the best and most... - Atrial Fibrillati...
Apple Watch
Try John Lewis also may actually be cheaper
Or you could buy a reconditioned one.
The Apple Watch is great for checking things but a 24 hour monitor it is not. It will not capture all AF automatically and can miss quite a lot of it in my experience. Same with other watches and wearables.
See “Things you should know” at the bottom on this link support.apple.com/en-us/120276
Best wishes
Buy a Kardia, an awful lot cheaper and just timetable to use it several times a day.
Dr wants continues monitor for afib over next 90 days
Seems like doctor would provide a holter monitor. Zio patch is also highly rated. Both could be replaced to meet the 90 day requirement.
If you do have to purchase, check the Wellue site. They have a chest monitor that will provide continuous monitoring like a holter monitor or Zio patch. Cost is less that a standard Apple watch. However, the SE Apple Watch is only about $189.
(* have not been to Wellue site in awhile, they did have)
