Hi im contemplating on buying apple watch but not sure if it can or cant measure body fat. I tried to search for it online but all i could find was ways to track it but not sure if the watch or any third party app can actually measure it like the machines at gyms do. Also, i read all the literature on apple watch and most of it is glamorous marketing but is there any true health benefits or any usefulness to it at all? Any useful third party apps?
Apple Watch
First of all its not a technical forum and secondly i am not asking for you to make a decisiom for me i am asking you from a practical point of view whether the watch is even technically practical in its usage? Anyway dont bother replying with your negativity your feedback is of little help or importance
No it can’t. As you say you can track it on the health app
Never thought about it before. There's no way to determine body fat but there is a mechanism to restore what you can't determine. Weird.
That sucks...they shud work on it though cuz itl b more practical than things like measuring ecg...ppl who workout need to measure such metrics on regular basis but who measures ecg regularly?
are there any other useful and practical uses of apple watch? Shud i even bother buying it?
First I don’t work for Apple. Second whether you buy the Apple Watch is up to you I cannot make that decision for you. This is a technical forum not a discussion site.
Body fat calculator on apple watch?
