The back is made from a stunning black ceramic and sapphire crystal, enabling radio waves to easily pass through the front / back for better cellular service.

Using the app, users simply touch the Digital Crown and after 30 seconds, receive a heart rhythm classification. It can tell you if the heart is beating in a normal pattern or whether there are signs of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a heart condition that could lead to major health complications. All recordings, their associated classifications and any noted symptoms are safely stored away (PDF format) in the Health app that can be quickly and easily shared with physicians. More information.
