In other words, the Apple watch (where you can everything from news to realistic health monitoring) has become a threat to the left.

Presidents have rarely vetoed bans in the past.

Hey Apple....10%...Big Guy....you know the rest.

These watches also require GPS tracking so it can know where you are.

If the factory were in the United States, Apple wouldn’t have a problem. Apple will probably purchase the company that owns the patent.

I think Apple has a few bucks...

Simplest solution is to pay Masimo for the use of their patented technology. There's enough $ for everyone here, don't you think?

I've had a Casio watch that recharges from ambient light and sets each evening to WWVB (atomic clock). For health tracking including sleep, SPO2, steps, the Fitbit Charge(3/4/5) have worked well. As an Android phone user with a Samsung Galaxy S22Ultra, I tried out the Galaxy 3 watch. It was a nice color and technology match. Mine has the Verizon phone inside. I enjoyed it for about 3 weeks when a 2nd degree burn blister appeared under the sensor window. Upon doing some research, my experience was not isolated. Many other reported a similar problem and Samsung did their best to cover it up with private interactions with customer service. I stopped using the watch and the blister healed in a month. By the time I finished with Samsung customer service, they were advertising the Galaxy Watch 4. That trashed any hopes of selling the watch without taking a financial bath. I keep it for "nice" occasions as an attractive watch, but it can't be an everyday device. Everyday is Charge5 and the Casio.

My wife has the Apple watch (3/4/5/6) with the phone.
