  • 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 really like Garmin for this. Lots of models to choose from to find your niche (eg, they have running focused, scuba diving focused, or just looks like a regular watch with no gps). What's cool is their ecosystem is NOT to do much smartwatch stuff. It's all about health focus. Or maybe fitness focus I guess.

Edit: oh I reread and saw you want blood pressure. They don't do this that I know of.

Garmin is also the only fitness tracker that isn't just like explicitly selling your data. But then again who's to say that won't change tomorrow.
