Oklahoma Man Credits Apple Watch For His Transformation From A Heart Attack Survivor To Marathon Runner
The Apple Watch has saved several lives, but this incident is a little different. An Oklahoma man who suffered a heart attack and underwent an open heart surgery is now running marathons, and he credits Apple Watch for his transformation.
這個 蘋果手錶 已經挽救了幾條生命，但這起事件略有不同。俄克拉荷馬州一名心臟病發作並接受了心臟直視手術的男子現在正在參加馬拉松比賽，他將自己的轉變歸功於Apple Watch。
What Happened: A 43-year-old Oklahoma man has transformed from a heart attack survivor to a marathon runner in just three years. He credits Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Watch for his success.
發生了什麼： 俄克拉荷馬州一名43歲的男子在短短三年內從心臟病發作倖存者轉變爲馬拉松運動員。他歸功於 蘋果公司's（納斯達克股票代碼：AAPL） 注意他的成功。
"Everything changed. That was kind of the worst and best thing that ever happened to me," Billy Smith told Fox 25.
“一切都變了。那是我經歷過的最糟糕和最好的事情，” 比利·史密斯告訴福克斯25。
Smith embarked on a fitness journey after surviving a massive heart attack in Mar. 2020. He had to undergo a triple bypass open heart surgery and could barely walk after the operation.
2020年3月，史密斯在一次大規模心臟病發作中倖存下來後，開始了健身之旅。他必須接受三次心臟搭橋手術，手術後幾乎無法行走。

However, that's when the tide turned for Smith. He spotted an Apple Watch while scrolling through Facebook, and that lit a spark in him. "You know what? I'm gonna throw that thing on and track my heartbeats," he said.
但是，那是史密斯潮流轉向的時候。他在瀏覽 Facebook 時發現了一臺 Apple Watch，這在他心中點燃了火花。“你知道嗎？我要把那個東西放上去然後追蹤我的心跳，” 他說。
From walking around a few blocks, Smith noticed the rings on the Apple Watch. He eventually became obsessed with closing the rings on his smartwatch, and that transformed his lifestyle.
在幾個街區裏走來走去，史密斯注意到了 Apple Watch 上的戒指。他最終沉迷於在智能手錶上合上戒指，這改變了他的生活方式。
A little over six months after his heart surgery, Smith signed up for a 5K marathon and completed it. "It kinda took off from there. I got into hiking and camping, and meanwhile I'm trying to close these rings every day, I'm obsessed with it," he said.
心臟手術六個多月後，史密斯報名參加了 5K 馬拉松並完成了比賽。“它有點從那裏起飛了。我開始徒步旅行和露營，同時我每天都在努力關閉這些戒指，我對此很着迷，” 他說。
Smith says prior to getting the Apple Watch, he was a "couch potato" and ate junk food that clogged his arteries. He also became a diabetic because of his dietary habits.
史密斯說，在買到Apple Watch之前，他是一個 “久坐不動的人”，吃了阻塞動脈的垃圾食品。由於他的飲食習慣，他還患上了糖尿病。
However, the heart attack and his subsequent obsession with completing the rings on his Apple Watch changed his life.
但是，心臟病發作以及他隨後對在 Apple Watch 上完成戒指的癡迷改變了他的生活。
Why It Matters: Apple Watch has often been credited for saving the lives of its owners, thanks to features like crash and fall detection, and emergency SOS.
爲什麼重要： Apple Watch經常因挽救其所有者的生命而受到讚譽，這要歸功於碰撞和跌倒檢測以及緊急SOS等功能。
However, its fitness features are also just as useful, like Smith's case shows. While you don't necessarily need an Apple Watch to become physically active and fit, Apple's smartwatch pushes people enough so they don't remain sedentary for long periods.
但是，它的健身功能也同樣有用，就像史密斯的案例所示。雖然你不一定需要 Apple Watch 來鍛鍊身體和保持健康，但 Apple 的智能手錶足以推動人們長時間久坐不動。
"After getting active and learning how to take care of all that and moving, I no longer take any diabetic medicine, I'm no longer considered type two. I used to have a really high A1C, now it's in the normal range," Smith concludes.
“在變得活躍起來，學會了如何治療所有這些問題並活動之後，我不再服用任何糖尿病藥物，也不再被視爲二型糖尿病了。我以前的A1C非常高，現在處於正常範圍內，” 史密斯總結道。
