2021 - WHAT A F JOKE

Really ? I was going to buy this watch for those features. Think I'll look elsewhere at other brands now.

It is been released in the US. Why is it not working in the UK?

I'm not happy...

[Ibrahim29]

It needs regulatory approval as it is a medical grade sensor.
US - needed FDA Approval.
COVID has most likely thrown a wrench in their plans.

[Deanoh55]

Yeah it needs MHRA approval, was just wondering if anyone new how far along it was

[Ibrahim29]

It shouldn't be long as its been in the works for 2 years

[calvert]

Can it not be released unapproved, then it gets approved if and when it does? It being approved in S Korea and USA is approval enough for me
