The baseline wrist temperature tracking was the first sign that I had Covid. With no other indications whatsoever, it results in my wife and I testing and getting Paxlovid before the onset of symptoms. My wife has immune system issues, so this may have been life-saving. It also allowed us to tell the housekeeper and other workers not to come in which may have prevented the spread to others.

The awards highly motivated me and I went from not doing much, to working out consistently, to then being competitive. I now do Ironmans as well as several adventure travels.

I had a bike crash and the watch alerted people close by who came to my aid.

My stepdaughter and family were in a car crash and we were notified. First responders came to the scene, but it resulted in my wife and I knowing something happened and staying up so we could help them remotely.

Another family member received AFib warnings, diagnosed and has received a pacemaker.

I could go on and on if I were to list minor benefits like being able to locate my iPhone or unlock/start my car when my keys were lost.
