Monitor your resting heart rate

Don’t want to wait for an alert? You can check your resting heart rate right now

Heart Rate app

To see a display of your resting rate, launch the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch. Then scroll down from the screen that measures your current rate.

Check the graph

The graph shows your heart rate at various points throughout the day, so you can tally any particular high or low rates to whatever you were doing at that time.

Your rate

Here, preceding BPM, or beats-per-minute, is your resting heart rate. You generally want to see this between 60 and 100 – only when you’re exercising should the bpm be higher, by and large.
