This article has all the elements of a sponsored review but it was done extremely well and the author provided many detail information which I have to give him credit for that. The ECG feature is the only reason I would ever buy an iWatch, if it works as advertised. Apple is smart to focus in the health niche as there are no other valid reasons an average person would ever need a smart watch in their life.

I'm not a particular smart watch fanboy but here are a few reasons:
- notifications (of which I use very few)
- GPS tracking (hiking, running, etc.). That's partly health but not really.
- Potentially do some phone-related things when your phone isn't handy.

Imagine how nice notifications (and the ability to respond if necessary) are for people who work long shifts where they can't have their phone with them!
