Check your heart rate with your Watch

The Apple Watch’s Heart Rate feature has been much improved in watchos 4

Apple is big on health which is why, with watchos 4, it has looked to make the monitoring of your overall wellbeing one of its priorities. To that end, it has overhauled the Heart Rate app for all but the original 2015 Watch, adding resting and walking rates to your current reading while allowing you to view your day’s result in an easy-to-view graph. You can also view your heart beat as you exercise thanks to its integration within the Workout app.

At the same time, Apple has added a new real-time complication for your watchface as well as notifications should your heart rate become higher than normal. This defaults at 120 beats per minute but you can change it via the Watch app on your iphone, visiting My Watch, selecting ‘Heart Rate’, tapping ‘Elevated Heart Rate’ and choosing a different alert threshold. We start our tutorial by quickly showing you how to turn on that notification in the first place.
