Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo's patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn't said as much publicly until now.

"We're focused on appeal," Cook's statement said. "There's lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor."

I believe even the original Apple watch could do VO2 max, so no it shouldn't.

Right, but just like this watch has better GPS than the others, I was curious if the additional hardware could improve VO2 max readings compared to previous watches.
