In a surprising move, medical technology specialist Masimo is stepping into the consumer tech arena, introducing the Freedom Smartwatch. This shift comes from the legal battle that resulted in a ban on Apple’s infringement of its patented sensors. In this article, let’s dive into discussing the latest Masimo Freedom smartwatch, including its price, specs, and more. 

Masimo Freedom Smartwatch Overview:

Masimo's recent legal clash with Apple centered around patent infringement claims related to blood oxygen monitoring technology has led to significant developments. Their legal victory and subsequent ban on certain Apple Watch models in the US set the stage for Masimo's expansion into consumer-friendly gadgets.

Masimo Freedom Smart Health Watch

The upcoming Freedom smartwatch boasts a round display, a departure from the common rectangular screens found on Apple Watches, emphasizing a distinction between the two. Focused on health monitoring accuracy, it offers features like hydration tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, respiration rate measurement, heart rate analysis, step counting, fall detection, and more.

Accuracy and Reliability

Masimo emphasizes unparalleled accuracy in health monitoring, especially claiming superiority in blood oxygen monitoring technology. Rooted in medical-grade expertise, Masimo's technology considers factors like skin pigmentation, motion, and blood flow.

Masimo Freedom Smartwatch Price and Availability

Positioned in the premium wearable market, the 'Masimo Freedom Watch' is expected to be priced at $999, available for reservation with a $100 deposit. FDA approval for health features is pending, and final specs may differ from the prototype. However, the Verge , who had previously attended its unveiling at CES 2024, reported that this wearable doesn't have any significant features to boast on. And the price just seems way too much for what it would provide. Anyway, it is pretty unlikely we will ever see any glance of it any time soon in the future. But stay tuned as we will bring you all the latest information about Masimo Freedom and every other wearable in the market.
