So it's no secret that the Apple Watch simply drags. The watch offers great features, premium design and works well with the Apple ecosystem.

In any case, there have been speculations on the Internet about the possible measurement of blood sugar or the amount of alcohol in the blood. In both cases, the monitoring would take place in a non-invasive form. In any case, only time will tell whether Apple will bet on these functions.
