Afib history versus Afib notification Does anyone know why you can't receive Afib notifications if you have Afib history turned on? Seems like it would be easy enough for them to set it up to collect the history AND notify you if you're in Afib. I can go in to Afib and not know unless I get a notification. I really like the info that history provides, but.... I'd also like to know when I'm in Afib.

Because the purpose of the watch is to detect a-fib and if you already have a-fib then the watch would be telling you something that you already know.
