The poster didn't know that the only reason they are unhappy because of the Apple litigation. Thank you for confirming that what the poster claimed was incorrect - they are unhappy for a multitude of reasons. Regardless, their unhappiness is not germane to Masimo trying to work with Apple for years before filing suit. Had Apple replied, the cost of litigation would not be there.

FWIW; having owned altimeter watches in the 90’s the Apple ultra watch is not so big / huge ..

I actually worked with the chief engineer on the watch, the new left one was a prototype with 3 foot vertical resolution versus the 5 foot resolution my bought one had. I rode many trails with both and shared the diff vert feet of the trail with my subjective feelings of the ride difficulty.
Which makes me wonder:
What is the Apple Watch vertical resolution in feet?
Ha, one of my 1997 out west ski trips with the watch.. good times

You have literally zero clue what they are asking for, knock it off 🙄
I know that whatever they were asking for it was more than the several hundred million dollars, reputational hit and legal fees that Apple has been willing to take instead of paying what they were asking. And, my opinion is not based on nothing. I've read the legal cases and have noted the "value" that the Masimo CEO is attributing to a watch with the pulse oximeter and the watch without. I'm confident that I'm in the ballpark. If it were an easy licensing deal, like Apple has with many many companies, Apple would not be taking the hits they are taking. They'd have gladly signed off.
You know nothing and you’re entire argument is based on assumptions.
Sure. But again, I think my explanation is more likely than that Mosimo offered a reasonable solution and Apple rejected it. Your mileage may vary.
You think, you don't know, yet you're speculating trying to pass it off as fact.
Just saw on BBC News website about Doctor use blood oxygen app to check old women feel ill on plane. Turns out hers was low and ask for on-board oxygen cylinder.
