Apple Shares Heartfelt 'Real Stories' From Apple Watch Wearers in Latest Videos

The law states that the company has to put a disclaimer up if actors are used.

They were all the real people behind the scenarios.

I have a series 0 and I can still vouch for this. One day out of the blue I went for a run. Not walk like I normally did but run/jog. It was intense and when I came home was stuffed. I was sitting and having water to rehydrate.

I had measured the run on my watch and watched my heart rate go down slowly after. I had been sitting for 30 minutes when I was looking over it the workout and I saw my heart rate suddenly at 150. I’d been sitting down and around 70-90 since the run so this didn’t make sense. I saw my doctor and had blood tests which found an overactive thyroid. Thankfully a second blood test found it normal again. But my doctor now has it recorded for regular check ups.

I will be wearing one of these forever. I was scared at the time but so dam thankful it wasn’t something worse and that I now know about it.

I imagine at some point down the road, Apple Watch will be a standalone device that doesn't need to be paired with a phone.

If it has a good cell phone embedded I’d be all over that. I hate carrying a cell phone. Love my ipad.

It's too bad these features weren't around a couple years ago. My uncle fell to the ground and died of a massive heart attack nearly two years ago. He was an early adopter of Apple Watch and was wearing it when he died. If it was able to detect irregular heart rhythms and sudden falls back then, he may still be alive today. He was in really good shape and 53 years old. He had just returned from the gym, took a break inside because he was feeling weird, and then after a while got up and decided to go outside and wash his truck. He was like father to me because my actual father is garbage. I'm glad that Apple has developed this technology to help other people not lose loved ones like I did. I just wish it had been developed sooner.

Very sad to read this.

Think of it this way. Your father like so many other people suddenly lost may have inspired engineers at Apple to push for this generation of Apple Watch.

For those shorts on the stock market or haters of Apple ... make no mistake ... This Watch WILL replace what we feel is a mobile computer ... one that so gracefully, and intimately truly knows us and guards our privacy in ways a phone, tablet, computer and social media could never imagine nor touch. This is the end game: Apple Watch + Apple Lens ... together this is the final market that will continually and perpetually maintain in sales, revenue and profits. It's like having a soul-mate that is just never gonna give up on you nor quit and only asks in return that you have internet access and feed it power.

Done.

I find it really cool that the Apple Watch monitors my heart rate. Around two months ago I was on a flight from Seoul to San Francisco that went through some pretty heavy turbulence. I’m a frequent flyer so normal turbulence is not an issue. However, it got rough enough that the flight crew had to be seated and I admittedly started getting a little “concerned”. That’s when my watch started warning me of my heart rate. Basically letting me know I needed to work on calming my self down.

Sorry for the blurred iPhone X pic. The plane was shaking.

I think they are based on real life scenarios, testimonials from emails and letters shared from customers. But I don’t feel all the folks in the Apple Watch videos were the real life users.

Well then you'd be wrong.
