Some advice please: I'm looking for a smart watch for my ageing father, which constantly tracks heart rate and heart rhythm. Needs to be easy to use and not mechanically fiddly, and I can help him with associated apps etc. I know absolutely nothing about smart watches and reviews on the web are a quagmire of slop, does anyone have any experience and recommendations? Thank you! 馃挄
Boosts for reach welcome!
