I'm interested in this for my son. Would love to hear feedback from people who have used it or are using it!
 
I like the sound of this watch too for my daughter, sounds like a brilliant idea.
 
I dont like my watch. I think empatica failed a lot of people with this watch. It has had a lot of issues... the problems its had they havent fixed... they have started charging for things they werent supposed to without fixing the issues they were supposed to fix... yeah. Not a fan at all.
 
I bought the watch to monitor nocturnal seizures. I have it set up to alert myself of a seizure in the night and have a message sent to my own home phone via cell phone app. I will know in the morning if I've had a seizure when there is a voice mail message on my home phone when I wake up in the morning. It's worked great so far. It was an expensive watch to buy but has been worth it.
 
I am going to be getting one next week from my doctor I primarily have nocturnal seizures, I will post my impressions
