With my old Garmin 910xt, if my HR went above X while training, it would chime. That was my cue to back off the intensity to get my HR where I wanted.
Does the Apple Watch have this feature? Right now I’m constantly looking at the zones screen during a workout to see where I’m at. As you can imagine, it’s a constant effort and it would be nice to just get an alert instead.

HI m3bella,
I'm late to your post, but yes you can do this!
Open the Workouts app on your watch and choose your workout type, then tap the three-dot More button in the corner. Choose your goal type--I usually have an Open goal--then tap the pencil Edit icon. You should then see Alerts, tap this and change it to Heart Rate, then choose the zone you want to be notified of.
Unfortunately, you can't set up an alert for multiple zones--at least I haven't figured that out.
Hope that helps.

Hello m3bella,
We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: Heart health notifications on your Apple Watch. It explains: "You can enable notifications from the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch to alert you to high or low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms." Follow the guidance on that page to set that up.
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
Hello m3bella,
At this point, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
Thanks @gena_d but not quite what I was asking. During a workout, I want my heart rate to stay between X to X bpm and I want the watch to alert me if my HR goes over or under my targets.
