Dang, I felt safe getting the series 9 last year and that there wouldn't be any major features this year. The sleep apnea detection would be something that could be handy as I suspect I'm borderline. It would be nice to non-intrusively test over several months to see how I trend vs. the one night sleep tests doctors typically use.

Sleep apnea detection is coming to the series 9 too.

Oh really...interesting, thx

I doubt that the sleep apnea detection will be useful in borderline cases aside from saying "you might have sleep apnea", which you already know.

Since that would come from a different source, that would still be helpful. Or there might be no notification.

A lot of people who live alone might not know. I think I have it but a Phillips home test was inconclusive for me. I don't really love the idea of the doctors office sleep study since I'm not really experiencing any daytime affects but having my watch keep an eye on it is a nice peace of mind.
