Heart Rate Alert Why does my series 5 Apple Watch not alert me when my heart rate exceed the rate I have set?

high heart rate alert: >120 bpm after 10 minutes inactivity OR >120 bpm for 10 minutes I have the new Apple Watch Series 6 In regards to high heart rate alert set to 120 bpm The Health app says "Apple Watch can check your heart rate and notify you when it detects a heart rate that's above a selected threshold for 10 minutes." The Watch app says "Receive a notification when the Apple Watch detects a heart rate that rises above 120 BPM while you appear to have been inactive for 10 minutes." The first implies the heart rate itself needs to be elevated for >10 minutes, but the second implies elevated at any time after >10 minutes inactivity (regardless of duration of elevated heart rate) Which is the correct interpretation/implementation?

If you're asking if you can set a notification so that when you're exercising, you'll be alerted if your heartrate drops below 120 bpm, no, you can't.

You may be able to find a third-party app that will do that but I've never looked for anything like that so can't say for sure.
