High smartwatch heart rate: When should you actually worry?
- A fast heart rate can be triggered by exercise, stress, anxiety, caffeine, smoking, dehydration or lack of sleep.
- A normal resting heart rate is generally 60–100 beats per minute, though individual baselines can differ.
- One unusual smartwatch reading is not a diagnosis; repeated high resting readings are more important to investigate.
- Seek medical help if a fast pulse is persistent or comes with chest pain, fainting, severe breathlessness or dizziness.
