Err, really?

Well, obviously you can wear a watch all the time. However, from what I'm beginning to find out, asking a device to continuously monitor heart beat may not be possible. It seems several that do do ECG require you to place a finger on the bezel. So that's far from continuous. It's on demand. Not sure where this is all going.

It's no way a long term solution in any case. They need to be looking at a proper national savings and loans fund IMHO.

Hmm. That's more or less what I did. Came down to just 2 brands. I'm leaning towards a Google Pixel 2 watch. But i really would prefer a Huawei ceramic. Looks amazing and is probably as good if not better than the rest. Don't really care if the US doesn't approve it. FDA? Only for selected brands of their choosing.

Im not interested in all that stuff.

The EEG measures brain waves. ECG your heart beat. I want the watch to record my heartbeat when the anomaly happens. It's all I can do. It might not tell me anything more than what it feels like. But it's worth a try.

Read above. I'm not an idiot.

I think checking for an irregular heartbeat needs only one sensor. It becomes totally obvious after a few beats. But I experience what I call an "anomaly" which is like an electric shock, my heart appears to stop and restart, and I'm there thinking wtf. It's been happening for a few years. Seemed to me that the EEG could definitely shed some light on it, but it seems I'm in great shape from the readings they got. The neurologist wanted me to stay in for 24 hours wired up to the EEG machine but I explained it was an intermittent unpredictable event and I might be lying there for several weeks before it recurred. So the smart watch seemed an ideal solution. At least, worth trying.

And the print out?

Because the cardiologist suggested that the anomaly I experience in my heart rhythm was linked to a problem in my brain. But the EEG gave a perfect print out. So have to look elsewhere. There's no way of recording what happens when I experience the anomaly except with a real time non stop ECG monitor.

Well that's what they're saying in the reviews. "The one thing users must be aware of is that the ECG functionality is only supported on Samsung Galaxy-branded smartphones."

The linked list includes Huawei which I guess will never get FDA approval. The only remaining one is Google Pixel Watch 2. I read some fairly moderate reviews of it but it will probably do for my purposes.

Thanks but the ECG only works with Samsung phones.

I've suggested elsewhere the Thai government looks at setting up a loan scheme for saving, house purchase etc etc. The Philippines has one, with over 4 million signed up. Been going for 50 years. Low rates guaranteed, between 4.5 and 5.5%. Government regulated. But, you need a regular salary, as with any mortgage. So lifting the population out of poverty should be the first priority of this government. And 10,000 THB is really not going to do that. So think again Billionaire Bob. Stop laughing hysterically for a minute and wake up to the mountainous problem you've inherited from half your fricking cabinet.

Why do we get the Glazer family news shoved into a serious topic about debt in Thailand? Not the first time.

Oi vey!

"Many senators cited his media-shareholding court case as the reason for their decision." Oh no they didn't. It was 112 that unstuck him. They were just too sxxx scared. Even went further, as we all know. Accused him of trying to overthrow the whole damn caboodle. Hysterical nonsense.

You could I'm sure make a case saying the Court's decision paved the way for the coup, but Lou is correct in his statements about Nong Poo's removal from office. O'chacha was obviously keen to frame the coup as a legitimate assumption of power in a chaotic situation. Nobody was fooled. Not then, not now, never!

Hi. I have afib (irregular heartbeat) and my neurologist has suggested wearing a decent FDA aporoved smart watch with ECG capabilities, to monitor my heart. I experience an anomaly occasionally which he said would need to be recorded for him to be able to look at the output. I had an EEG recently and no problems were detected. I'm not in training. I'm not really interested in all the bells and whistles. I don't do Apple. I don't have a Samsung phone. So it narrows the field down quite considerably. Any advice/experience out there? Google? Garmin? Or...?

Here's a link to the whole story of the 2014 coup. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Thai_coup_d'état

On 7th May 2014 she and 9 others were removed from office for the "crime" that has now been nullified. 2 weeks after the Constitutional Court's verdict, on 22nd May, the military took over. I was in Bangkok that night with my daughter, who was due to fly back to the UK that evening. It was like somehing out of "The Year of Living Dangerously". Soldiers everywhere. There was a rumour that taxis weren't being allowed back into Bangkok from the airport. But I got her into one, and she made it to the airport. Martial law had already been declared. This is the country we are all living in.

Dying for a cause, lost or otherwise. Would you have stood your ground and waited for the knock on the door?

And why should they care? Overall, would you say the Shinawat clan did more harm than good for the country? If you think they did more harm, then a coup was the next best thing I guess.

This is obviously badly written copy. It should read "Supreme Court dismisses Yingluck's abuse of power case".

Yes, obviously. Are you a would be martyr?
