There's no mystery. It's either a medical edition of AW or simply the new version of the watch that everyone gets. A band with such features makes no sense: it stops people spending an AW amount of money, it negates the opportunity to capitalise on AW and make medical cool and cool more powerful. And needing to wear two devices for all the functionality doesn't sound right. No, Apple are researching this stuff and when they are ready AW gains such features. A hydration sensor that can tell you when you need to consume water would be a true innovation and a sensor that reads your blood sugar level in a reliable non-invasive manner would totally transform many people's lives. Which number AW it ends up being is anyone's guess. AW5 would be mine.
