Critically it's the only watch in Australia that's been clinically validated and TGA certified to measure blood oxygen saturation and irregularities in heartbeats as an electrocardiogram. Both tests take 30 seconds and can be a little temperamental if you don't have a flush connection between the back of the watch and your wrist. You get the result instantly on the watch's tiny, circular LED screen which then syncs up to Withings' Health Mate smartphone app to track changes over time.
