I think health features like this will become pretty commonplace in the future and more doctors/nurses will utilize it. In Formula 1 racing they've been integrating sensors and transmitters for vital stats into the drivers' gloves. This allows the medical team to see what's going on as they're driving out to the crash. I believe they keep the gloves on if possible during patient transport so they can continue monitoring.

I imagine being able to provide a doctor with historical data on your vitals can be extremely beneficial. Taking your vitals while you're sitting in a clinic doesn't give the full picture. What does your heart rate mean at that time if they don't know what's normal for you? What if your temp is not high enough to be considered a fever, but it's elevated 3+ degrees higher than typical for you? Of course the accuracy of the sensor could be called into question, but if it's precise enough you can still use it to analyze trends and anomalies.

Garmin fitness watches have always been far better than smart watches with battery life. But they're only fitness watches with some smartphone integration. You're not going to get the features the Apple Watch has on the Garmin with over 2-3+ days of battery life right now.

My VivoActive 4 tracks this without any external accessories. I've never really looked at the data and can't tell you how accurate it is though.

I would be okay with this only if they also gave me appropriate seating for my height. Being tall has had some benefits, but I'm constantly annoyed by the consequences.

Cocktails have been around since the 1800s. They may have changed a bit during prohibition, but to claim that they were created during that time for that purpose is just wrong.
