Smart (Sports) Watch users - can you help, please?

Janika from Stoke

Does your brand of smart (sports) watch do what I need, to assist in my recovery from serious illness?
I need to buy a smart sports watch, or similar, that can monitor my heart rate all day long, (not just in “workout” mode).
It also needs to have an alert, (vibration or sound), that will warn me immediately when I go over my safe HR limit, not 10 minutes after stopping the activity.
I also need to be able to set my upper HR limit at lower than 100 beats per minute, (eg. 72 bpm).
I’ve looked at the user manuals for most smart watches online and, so far, none seem to have these capabilities.
I had a Polar watch 9 years ago that did exactly this and was ideal. The current ‘Polar Unite’ watch may do this, but I can’t tell from their user manual. No local retailer has one.
If you have a smart watch, (currently available), that you think can be set for these functions, I’d greatly appreciate your messaging me, please, so I can find out more.
Many thanks.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
