Apple Develops Innovative Hydration Sensor for the Apple Watch

Is it just me or does it seem like there will be no sensors added this year but next year will have all the sensors? They’ll probably spread that out. Doubt we’ll get this soon, and we’ll probably only get blood glucose next year and maybe blood pressure the year after that if we’re lucky. Right now I’m targeting the Series 8 for my next upgrade from the Series 4.
As for this sensor, this would be really useful for me. I’m really bad at not drinking enough water, and by the time I notice it, I tend to drink way too much. For some reason it’s way worse now than it used to be since I’ve been working from home.

Being diagnosed with clinical dry mouth, and taking pills throughout the day to produce saliva, all while struggling to maintain the proper hydration level and avoid kidney issues... I need this yesterday.
Instant buy/upgrade Apple, please take my money.
Off to drink another 40oz of electrolytes (would be awesome to be able to reduce adding them when I might not need as much in my water.)
(Sjogrens Syndrome is the potential cause of my issues, it is a horrible horrible disease)

There are a lot of cheap smartwatches that already do it inaccurately. The technology is there, someone needs to make it work correctly. Part of that is proper calibration for each person.
I'd like my watch to say "Your low beer warning light is flashing."
Or perhaps "Valkyrie needs food badly"

Justbuy Samsung Watch 4. It already can measure body composition including water.
Can it monitor water intake and tell you how much water you need to drink? They didn’t give much detail about it at their unpacked event.
The technology behind those abs Samsung are naturally inaccurate. Best two ways to test BP are arterial blood pressure which is invasive and used in hospital settings or blood pressure cuffs on the bicep
You need to calibrate the Samsung watch before it can measure blood pressure and it needs to be recalibrated every month with a blood pressure machine.
I know, its price is around 120 usd per month in my country, I use it from time to time...thank for the advice anyway!
I'm trying to figure out how this works.. and if ip6 or ip7 pee-resistance is necessary.
I have no idea. But if it can measure the water content in your body, as I understand, this should give you information about whether you need to drink more or less. Also, it does not look like it's a constant monitoring. It requires special action (touch the sensor and execute the test).
won't happen. That I bought a Samsung fridge (withOUT ice and water through the door) kills me... but it was the best replacement for my 26yo GE. Extended warranty was bought with it.
