The Apple Watch has yet again proven itself a worthwhile investment, prompting one Austin man to seek help when he wouldn’t have otherwise.
Apple Watch Afib alert

In January, Gomez’s Apple Watch warned him that his heart rate was high. Shortly after, he received five other notifications warning him that he was in atrial fibrillation.
