The old man started suffering with irregular heart beats in his 60s and ended up having a pacemaker fitted I know it's probably something I shouldn't be too bothered about but I don't think it's a bad thing having a nice smart watch that can give you info on your heart rate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
