For me it started by alerting me of atrial fibrillation. Confirmed during an ER visit. Now 2 years later I’ve had an ablation and am AF free.

Since then I’ve used the watch to significantly improve my cardiovascular health. It’s helped me improve my sleep, VO2 max, strength and endurance. I started walking, then after a few months began running and lifting weights regularly. I’m now in better shape than ever and more doubled my VO2 level. Just did my first ever (half) marathon 2 weeks ago.

I ended up buying the AWU when it came out and I love it. The extra battery life is worth it alone, especially for longer workouts where it tends to rapidly drain the battery.
