A Wild NFL Game Caused Some Apple Watch Wearers to See Elevated Heart Rate Alerts
The Saints-Vikings football NFL playoff game had a huge share of craziness and a last-second touchdown for the ages. And the game was so exciting that some Apple Watch wearers received elevated heart rate alerts meant to inform users of a possible heart attack.
A number of Apple Watch wearers shared their heart rate alerts on Twitter, via BGR.
The heart rate alert feature arrived in watchOS 4. It’s designed to tell users when their heart rate is abnormally high, especially when no activity is detected.
