Apple Watch monitors your heart rate and can help you be more conscious of your overall health and well-being. You can customize the information it measures and add apps tailored to your specific goals. So you get a better picture of you.
Your heart rate is one of the most important indicators of your cardiovascular health. The custom sensor inside Apple Watch measures your heart rate throughout the day when you’re stationary. You can see these background heart rate data points in the Health app on your iPhone, where you can monitor them over time.
