I believe there are non-Apple devices that use this approach as well, but they're certainly failing in making that information easy to find.

That being said, being the only watch with FDA blessing is a pretty effective point to market

There are a number of watches that were given a blessing, as you put it, by the FDA. Pixel, Samsung, Garmin, Withings...

Where can one find a list of those watches/manufacturers?

Apologizes, you're correct. I vaguely remember reading they were "first" to get FDA approval for some feature, but if that were ever true, it is sorely outdated information. I fell for the hype, it seems.

Unfortunate that I can't delete or edit the post at this point.
