The first Apple Watch arrived during the golden age of the fitness tracker.

Fitbits and devices like the Jawbone Up reigned supreme with their long battery life and simplicity.

Apple added LTE with the Series 3. Suddenly, the Apple Watch wasn’t tethered to your phone, it could save lives.

It turns out, health is what’ll get the average person to buy a smartwatch.

The Apple Watch is sort of where the iPhone was a few years ago — solid, but minor updates with the vague sense that something big might be around the corner.

There’s always a chance that Apple will pull an industry-first health feature out of thin air.

The next time Tim Cook steps out onstage might not be to show off technology that saves your life.
