Careful with otc devices etc. They can be inaccurate. Calibrated, my Omron wrist bp/hr is many points lower than the hospital. My oximeter shows good Sp02, but cannot show a reliable pulse ----/___-----__/. It sent me to the ER false alarm. It's supposedly a good one

Thanks
I just obtained an Apple Watch as I wasn’t confident in the HR/oximeter

I have been comparing and it is within 1 or 2 HB.
My heart rate rises to mid 50’s as I walk or move around but drops very quickly to low 40s when I reduce activity. As last week I went to Dr for a knee xray and my HR was 40.
I’m most concerned as I wake in morning my HR is often in 20’s
I ll see what it is tomorrow morning with my watch.
I plan to record my HR through the day so I can forward to cardiologist
Thanks for contacting me
