Checking your heart rate on your Apple Watch Ultra is straightforward, especially when using the Heart Rate app for a quick, accurate reading.
To check your heart rate, you can simply open the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch Ultra. The watch will automatically begin measuring your heart rate using its optical heart sensor.
Using the Electrical Heart Sensor for a Faster Reading
For a faster and potentially higher-fidelity reading, you can use the electrical heart sensor in conjunction with the Heart Rate app. This method provides a measurement every second instead of every 5 seconds.
Here's how to do it:
- Open the Heart Rate app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
- While the app is open and displaying your current heart rate or attempting to measure it, place your finger on the Digital Crown.
By placing your finger on the Digital Crown, you complete the circuit for the electrical heart sensor, allowing it to take a more frequent and precise reading of your heart's electrical signals.
Why Use the Electrical Sensor?
- Higher Fidelity: Get a more detailed picture of your heart's activity.
- Faster Measurement: Receive an updated reading every second.
This method leverages the advanced capabilities of the Apple Watch Ultra to provide you with immediate and accurate heart rate data whenever you need it.
