Apple CEO Tim Cook has thanked a Haryana dentist for telling the story of how an Apple Watch saved his life.
HT Tech reports how Haryana dentist Nitesh Chopra took an ECG because he was feeling unwell. His Apple Watch revealed atrial fibrillation, and after multiple similar readings, he decided to visit a doctor. Doctors at the hospital also took ECG's finding similar results and discovering Chopra' had a completely blocked artery, as a result, he was able to receive life-saving treatment.
Chopra's wife Neha emailed Tim Cook to thank him for the Apple Watch that saved her husband's life, to which Cook responded:
*I'm very glad you sought clinical evaluation and received the care you desired. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Have a good day. Best Wishes, Tim.

Nitesh told HT Tech he felt blessed and couldn't express his gratitude, stating that he used his watch as a fashion accessory, to check the time, and to track his steps, but "could not imagine" that one day the device would save his life.
There's always Amazon
Bigger, brighter, slightly better
You can buy the Apple Watch from Amazon if you prefer. Just remember you may be limited to only certain band combinations and models on Amazon. Plus, it's possible they will have less stock than buying from Apple directly.
