Heart rate monitor watch - thoughts?
Discussion
I don't believe for a minute that the iWatch will be able to provide accurate heart rate monitoring, but it certainly will look better for work than the TomTom.
HbA1c is an average blood glucose reading over a period of time. I doubt any watch will provide that in the foreseeable future. However, I could imagine a continuous (real time) blood glucose monitor coming to market within my lifetime. We've been very close already, so I think it will happen eventually.

This is something I've been looking into recently. I've found that you either have a daily HRM tracking your everyday heart rate or a dedicate sports HRM. They don't do both due to battery issues. At least, none of the ones I've seen do.
Mio are releasing a new model called the Fuse. See here. It looks like it can do both daily activity and sports but not at the same time. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/08/optical-heart-u...

Sorry mate yes I ment giving a real time reading.Edited by SVS on Friday 12th September 19:30
Your link is defiantly the closest we have got to none invasive real time reading, but poor accuracy and reactions to the chemical they put under the skin lead to the failure of the company, which was brought and then dissolved by another company that makes the blood test meter's via a lancet.
Keep in mind this was 12 years ago.
Its something I was hoping to see in my lifetime.
