I have had many (most?) monitoring devices over the years. I've worn them on my wrist, bicep, around my neck and on my head. They all suffered in varying degrees from reliability or poor software or lack of versatility / upgrade path.
The Apple Watch 2 is the best yet and I think this model leaves little room for jawbone or Fitbit other than as niche players.
The battery life on my Apple 2 is leaps better than the 1 and the apps coming out for monitoring are really starting to impress. With the new water resistance you can do swim workouts now.
It's got a beautiful display, can text, call, display photos, email, maps, email, call an Uber, play music wirelessly to my headphones, etc etc.
And the reliability has been and continues to be 100% for my original Watch and now this new one.
I ran this for the Reeve Foundation a few years ago. The NYC Marathon is an incredible event - so much energy all along the route. It's like a 26 mile party. Envious!
