A member asked:

My apple watch will sporadically record my heart rate in the 40s once or twice a day. is this normal or just a fluke from the watch?

I don't have experience with the Apple watch, but I would tend to disregard an infrequent transient reading in the 40's as I'm sure the watch occasionally doesn't sense a beat. You could wear a Holter Monitor for 24-48 hours for accuracy if you still have concerns.

Most likely an error with the watch. I would look at the data from Apple as to how often this occurs with their device. .
