I got the heart rate warning today

[rkuo]

The one where your watch warns you if your heart rate elevates above x BPM when you are idle. 120 BPM in my case.

But don’t worry ... it’s because I had half a cocktail at a restaurant and got the “Asian flush” reaction. I really can’t handle alcohol.

Frankly tho it’s amazing this feature works! I had a weird way of testing it, but I’m sure this feature will save actual lives! I got a warm fuzzy feeling seeing it actually work for me. Or maybe that was my drink.

It is a great feature. I just need to remember to turn it off before I start to watch football games!

What do you set the warning threshold to be?

It happened to me while watching The Walking Dead!

What do you set the warning threshold to be?

Default based on Apple Med Research/Evidence is 120 or higher.

I’m less convinced of the utility of this feature and wonder if it might result in wounded walking type syndrome. I would be super interested to see if the Apple Watch has the sensitivity to detect arythmias.

Thank you. I set mine to that. No harm in having a little extra security..

I got a notification once. I won't tell you why because its embarrassing (its not rude don't worry), but needless to say, it works.
