This problem can lead to fatigue during the day and other health complications like high BP, drop in SpO2 levels, diabetes, and more. Sleep apnea is mostly detected at a sleep disorder center and involves overnight monitoring. Other health features include medication reminders, loud environment detectors, atrial fibrillation, and a sleep changes tracker. The watch helps in translation and is powered by S10 chipset.
