A: AnswerIf you have an Apple phone, it should be compatible. I don't believe that the phone carrier matters.Answered by Steve
Q: QuestionDoes this watch monitor ecg(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes, If you go into the ECG app on the watch it will take a 30 sec ECG when you place your index finger on the opposite hand to your watch hand on the crown. It does not show you a continuous ECG of your day. However you can have it set to alert you to irregular rhythms which it seems to talk the most about AFIB rhythms. so I am snot sure it it alerts to anything other then that. It will store you ECG rythen strips to your phone in your health app.Answered by Harry

Great product! (1 month of owning)
Had it for over a month now and I love it. There's so many good features in regard to tracking your health. While the measurements for calories burned and steps taken may not be the most accurate, they are good for holding you accountable and giving you numbers to base goals off of. The display looks great. I wasn't sure if the 41mm would look as good because it was smaller but it looks and responds really well. I also really enjoy the sport loop because it allows me to adjust the tightness to my wrist size rather than having to fit into a pre-determined size like the silicone bands. I also wasn't sure if I would like the starlight finish, but the color is very light and classy. The battery lasts me all day running the always on display and it charges in 30-45 minutes from essentially being dead. The media controls are also really nice to have especially when I'm in the gym. Rather than having to pick up my phone in between sets, I can just change songs and even playlist from my watch in the spotify watch app. It's probably my favorite apple product out of the ones I own (iPhone 14 pro, Macbook pro 2020, Airpods pro gen 1) and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a smart watch, especially if they have other devices in the apple ecosystem.

Apple Watch Review
I recently upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 9 Midnight 41mm, and I must say it's been a game-changer for my overall well-being. Apple's commitment to environmental sustainability with a carbon-neutral design is a big plus. The advanced health features are truly impressive. Monitoring blood oxygen levels and taking ECGs on the go provide a sense of security. The sleep tracking feature offers detailed insights into sleep stages, helping me understand my rest patterns better. The temperature sensing and emotional well-being tracking add a holistic touch to overall health awareness. The battery life is absolutely insane! It lasts me all day. Very comfortable too. As a fitness partner, the Workout app offers a variety of training options with advanced metrics for a deeper understanding of my performance. The inclusion of three months of free Apple Fitness is a fantastic bonus, giving me access to diverse workouts. The sleek design and the comfort of the latest Sport Loop make it not just a health companion but a stylish accessory. The Apple Watch Series 9 truly goes beyond expectations, seamlessly integrating technology with personal wellness. Highly recommended!
