Any devices that will alerts with an audible alarm for AFIB?

I don't have an Apple watch but do have a Fitbit watch. It monitors for aFib but technically not constantly. It monitors in some format of overlapping time periods. But I often wonder of the accuracy of these personal monitors. Consider the process of having an ECG at your doctor's office where you're usually on a table, not moving and reasonably calm. This is considered the "standard" method. Now we use a watch with one contact surface and no doubt some form of AI to produce a variation of the "standard". Makes me wonder sometimes.

I am worried that my husband will go into AFIB while sleeping. We are new to AFIB, sadly, and he is completely unaware when it is happening. Yeesh. I don't like the idea of spending my life without him in it.

I just saw on affibers.org that someone posted that her Galaxy 7 watch does alert her. It awakened her one night with a haptic sensation and the watch face said she was in AF. So maybe we're making progress...?
