@flga-2-2 Blood pressure reading. Oh my. That will just make you go to drs more.  Which will increase your blood pressure.  Was it sheriff Buford that had that on his watch in smokey and the bandit. Lol. It was start dinging when he needed to relax.  In my case it would be going off all the time lol.

Like when him and Junior drove off the bridge?

When you get as old as me you have a tendency to pay attention to those pesky nuisances like BP, cholesterol, and whatever else is vouge at the time cause ya never know when you'll croak the bucket.

@flga-2-2 I think those health metrics have quantum properties. They're only bad when you observe them.

@flga-2-2 lol.  I am surprised that I am even alive. Some of the dumb stunts I tried in my youth. I built a ramp when i was 9 years olde and attempted to jump my mom’s maverick car. Well i made it almost but took the front windshield out. I was fairly beat up. Once the drs told my mom i was fine and would live. She began the true beating on my backside and whatever else she could hurt. Our family dr was a hoot. He said son i am going to have to x ray you again when your mother gets through with you.   The days where parents would give consequences to us unruly children lol. I jumped out of the back of a Bob truck as well on my bicycle. My mom tells me to this day. She said I never thought you were going to make it to high-school. She said you and that darn bicycle and climbing trees on roofs.  I built a big pike of leaves and road the bike of the house. Road horses with no saddle or bridal just catch one in field and jump on .  I should have been a stunt man.

Dr Richard Snay of the NGS gave a 2008 presentation “History, Uses and Future of GPS/GNSS” which includes the following images. I don’t know whether Casio’s GPS watch was the first. The other unit is the first  GPS receiver owned by the NGS. Ignore the fact that the antenna is not centered on the tripod head. It was on display outside the NGS Director’s office in Silver Spring, MD.

Apple Watch advertising materials when the ultra came out, that it’s more designed for off pavement athletes with dual frequency 

cost. The ultra has L2 so maybe standard watch will get L 2 this or next year 

no L2 or L2c?

@robertusa Hmm...I'm still looking but can only find reference to L1/L5 so far.

Thanks

Update: Appears that the use of L1/L5 is mirroring what the latest versions of iPhone are using.  Apple is banking on the L5 band to become more utilized since it cannot stand alone at this time (at least on their devices)
