and was photographed on the wrists of models. Apple sold its timepiece through high-end jewelry stores. But then a funny thing happened. Apple Watch users started to discover that the device was alerting them when their heart rates were too high or too low and as a result, Apple is still working on the non-invasive glucose monitor and Bloomberg reports that Apple is spending in the high tens of millions of dollars annually on the project.
