My heart rate seems to quite high, using a smart watch which is monitoring hourly. my heart rate today went up to 158, no physical activity?

Tachycardia: If your watch is reliable you had a bout of significant tachycardia which can be supraventricular or the more dangerous ventricular tachycardia. How long? Any palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness,chest distress? If this was a valid episode you should consult a cardiologist to arrange testing including an outpatient heart monitor recording, EKG, thyroid testing,etc
