You can check your heart rate any time using the Heart Rate app. Open the app, then wait for Apple Watch to measure your heart rate. You can also view your resting, walking, breathe, workout, and recovery rates throughout the day. To easily open the app, add the Heart Rate complication to your watch face.
You can also turn on heart rate notifications, so you know if your heart rate remains above or below a chosen beats per minute (BPM), or to occasionally check for an irregular heart rhythm.

Some iOS updates on your iPhone require that you also update watchOS on your Apple Watch. So if you see an alert on your iPhone that says "Update Apple Watch" and "Your Apple Watch software is out of date," you should update to the latest version of watchOS so that your data, including Activity data, continues to sync to your iPhone.
To be clear, none of these missing pieces are futurist fantasies. Rival products from Fitbit, Samsung and others are starting to last for days -- with promises of weeks between charges (in more pared-down watch modes) made by Qualcomm's new chip that's powering upcoming Google Wear OS watches. And those same products mostly offer sleep tracking, dozens or hundreds of watch face options, and always-on timekeeping, too.
New features like automatic workout tracking, walkie-talkie communications between watches, raise to talk (no more "hey Siri") and better support for music and podcasts are all welcome additions to the Apple Watch. But those are part of the 2018 WatchOS 5 upgrade, so they're also available on older Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 models.
Existing Series 3 owners shouldn't feel a rush to upgrade. And Series 1 and Series 2 owners should start with that free update to WatchOS 5, of course. But if you're looking for considerably faster speed, a bigger and more information-rich watch face, and better health and workout features, the Apple Watch Series 4 is a worthy upgrade.
The most interesting new feature on the Series 4 watch, by far, is an FDA-cleared ECG app that can do more medically accurate on-the-spot heart rate checks. The Apple Watch is now an over-the-counter health device. But what that means for you may not be as sweeping as you'd think, even if it could help more people be aware of medical conditions they didn't know they have.
ECG is short for electrocardiogram, which US doctors usually abbreviate to EKG. The one-lead ECG in the Apple Watch works much like a third-party band I tested last year made by Kardia. It takes a stationary 30-second heart-rate recording by completing an electrical circuit between the back of the watch and your finger on the digital crown. The heart reading can see the sort of peaks and valleys you'd see on a heart rate readout at a hospital, albeit less accurate than you'd get there (see below). But it can check for heart-rate rhythm abnormalities, which you'll be notified of.
ECG readers are also available separately, like Kardia's little mobile-connected ECG device you could buy separately, or Kardia's separately-sold watch band for older watch models that I tried last year. So you don't need an Apple Watch S4 for ECG. But it's a nice extra to have integrated into the Series 4 watch if you were already considering buying something like it, and it could be a key reason to upgrade for anyone concerned about heart health.
Fall detection works via a combination of G-force impact and detection of arm and hand placement when falling, using the watch's updated accelerometer and gyroscope. Apple's testing and algorithms look for indicators that apparently only happen in "real" falls. After falling and detecting a fall, as long as the fall detection has been turned on in Apple Watch settings, the watch will call 911 via your phone or via its own cellular connection, and will then contact a designated friend or loved one to notify, along with your location.
The new watch can also detect abnormally low sedentary heart rate, in much the same way that current Apple Watches can detect high sedentary heart rate. Either can possibly be a flag for medical problems, but not a guarantee that anything's wrong.
While it's great that Apple is pursuing new ways to explore health, these features come with caveats. Apple won't guarantee successful fall detection, meaning that the app specifically warns that the watch's fall-sensing may not work in every instance. I took a light, simple spill (as if I had collapsed, versus taken a sharp fall), and it didn't detect. Unfortunately, the slight uncertainty factor means it can't be a guaranteed monitor for a loved one that needs extra care.
More than the watch's refined design, I truly appreciate the way it handles speakerphone functions. A louder speaker truly helps with quick Siri requests (which I really do, on my wrist, when setting timers or alarms or quick tasks). A new raise-to-speak function in WatchOS 5 means I can lift and talk really closely into the watch and not have to say "Hey Siri," and it usually works. But for phone calls at home, when my phone's lost somewhere and my sister or mom calls, I can talk with the whole family via my wrist and it works perfectly -- it's no different than a speakerphone call on the phone.
My good feelings on audio extend to the Apple Watch as iPod. Last year with WatchOS 4, the watch autosynced albums via Apple Music during overnight charging to fill an instant on-the-go library, and it made me use the watch for music far more than I expected. Podcasts and third-party audio apps can now work offline on the watch, too, and with a pair of AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones, but AirPods pair and swap between iPhone and watch mostly seamlessly), it's a perfect experience. I also appreciate the watch's easy access to music controls when in a workout.
The Apple Watch S4 is the biggest design update since the watch launched in 2015. Apple followed the model of its recent iPhone designs here: The Series 4 cuts down the bezel surrounding the screen versus last year's Series 3, effectively squeezing larger screens into the same size chassis. It's still a squircle, but the look is much more refined. It's thinner, too: Apple cut the depth of the Watch from 11.4mm to 10.7mm, so it's less bulbous on your wrist. e24fc04721
