I know this is an old, old thread that was dug up...

But - this is my biggest complaint about Apple Watch.

The lowest you can set for a HR Alert is 40bpm.

For those of us who are endurance athletes and therefore have Sinus Bradycardia - sleep in the 30's - it's just annoying to see everyday that you have 40 alerts because your HR was so low while sleeping.

Not sure why we can't have the option to elect 30 as the lowest.

I agree.

I’m no athlete but my resting heart rate whist sleeping is around 42-47. Sometimes it dips a little lower. Normal for me. My Oura ring gives same readings so it isn’t faulty.

However, I am more shocked that your heart rate was so low on iPhone launch day :)

You can turn off low heart rate notifications off in the health app.
