Apple Watch can be an amazing tool for
<https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-health/> health and fitness, but are you
taking advantage of the useful data it records? Follow along for how to see
your heart rate history across a variety of categories like resting, walking,
and variability across days, months, and years.
Even when youâre not tracking a workout with <https://amzn.to/2LS5Io4> Apple
Watch, it takes heart rate readings in the background to measure resting and
walking heart rates. Apple describes how it works in a
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666> support document:
Apple Watch measures your heart rate throughout the day when youâre still,
and periodically when youâre walking (Apple Watch Series 1 or later). Since
Apple Watch takes these background readings based on your activity, the time
between these measurements will vary. Apple Watch also calculates a daily
resting rate and walking average by correlating background heart rate readings
with accelerometer data when sufficient background readings are available.
So with all your great heart rate data already saved, letâs look at how to
see it all. Whether you want to share it with your doctor or just want to see
for yourself, weâll start with viewing heart rate data on Apple Watch, then
look at how to see even more heart rate data on iPhone.
Apple Watch: How to see your heart rate history On Apple Watch:
1. Head to the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch to see daily data
2. Youâll see your current heart rate. Swipe or scroll down with the
Digital Crown
3. Now you can see your resting rate, walking average, workout heart rate,
and heart rate recovery data
On iPhone:
1. Checking your heart rate history captured by Apple Watch on iPhone
gives you the most data
2. Open the Health app on your iPhone
3. Tap the Browse tab in the bottom right corner, then Heart
4. On the main page youâll see the various heart rate categories. Tap
one to see your history
5. At the top, you can change the data window between hourly, daily,
weekly, monthly, and yearly (H, D, W, M, Y)
6. Toward the bottom, youâll see heart rate highlights
Further down youâll see more data like ECG results, blood pressure readings,
and low/high/irregular heart rate notifications.
Hereâs how all this looks on iPhone:
In each of the different heart rate categories, toggle between the H, D, W, M,
Y options to see your heart rate data over time.
Itâs interesting to be able to connect the dots looking backward and use that
moving forward to help with managing stress and being more mindful, etc.
For example, in my data below there was a spike in my resting heart rate in
March when I was moving from Utah to Indiana, and
another during the holidays in December ð
.
Also shown above in the second and third screenshots, if you swipe down from
the main Heart screen in the health app, you can see highlights and at the
bottom ECG, blood pressure data, and heart rate notifications.
