Series 8 but watch has just started sending notifications that my pulse dropped below 40rpm although i am 77 fit but not super fit. Is this a weakness of the apple watch - that is false readings please?


Thanks

Most of the times you can trust this readings. As when you get a low heart rate warning, it is not over 1 measurement that it is that low.


If this remains it could be wise to contact your primary care doctor to have it checked out, better safe then sorry with your heart, and there are stories widely known that the Apple Watch has saved someones life with notifications like this
