  • Masimo, the company that sued Apple over patent infringement, has unveiled its own blood oxygen monitoring smartwatch called the Masimo Freedom.
  • The Masimo Freedom is a health-focused device that can track blood oxygen levels, hydration index, respiration rate, pulse rate variability, pulse rate, steps, and detect falls.
  • The smartwatch is currently in prototype stage and will be available for sale later this year at a price of $999.

The Apple Watch Ultra already costs that much, doesn't it?

Really? That's insane.

No it doesn’t, it’s $200 cheaper.

Ah - it's $1000 CAD. That's where I was mistaken. USD it would be about $200 cheaper like you mentioned.
