Masimo, the company that sued Apple over patent infringement, has unveiled its own blood oxygen monitoring smartwatch called the Masimo Freedom.
The Masimo Freedom is a health-focused device that can track blood oxygen levels, hydration index, respiration rate, pulse rate variability, pulse rate, steps, and detect falls.
The smartwatch is currently in prototype stage and will be available for sale later this year at a price of $999.

I work in many dusty, gritty places, machine shops included. I love my $60 watch, it's been to 4 continents and back for 12yrs now.

Slight chip in the edge of the crystal, some mild scratches too. I'm just happy to not contribute to the waste stream by buying one reliable item, and cherishing it even when it gets a bit beat up.

Do these kind of apple/google watches hold up? How hard is battery replacement?
