Why this clinical score. Wellness-only with no ECG — low on the clinical axis, lifted slightly by Garmin’s validation reputation.

Why this empowerment score. Garmin’s open export and developer API plus no subscription make it strongly empowering for its class.
62
Why this everyday score. Stylish and discreet, but a small hidden screen and limited features keep everyday breadth modest.
