Can the Apple Watch diagnose sleep apnea?

Question

Is diagnosing sleep apnea within the watch’s multi-functional capabilities?

Answer 1

No, the Apple watch cannot be used to diagnose any condition such as sleep apnea. It can only offer valid data on breathing disturbances which can be exported by the users as a PDF file for their physicians’ attention and evaluation.”

I wonder how good this will work if the apple watch cant even detect that i went to sleep again after beeing awake for 10 min

I don't understand the purpose of this function. All it does is telling you that you have sleep apnea. It's not like it can help you reduce the obstructive breathing moments. In the end I still need to rely on the CPAP or other tools to help reduce the symptoms. I don't need to spend a couple hundred dollars to tell myself  that I have sleep apnea....
