Testify! Let others test it for me and wait for the point release.

I used to toil for Hatehouse Media. They made us so efficient I was pernt near the only employee. It certainly streamlined flowcharts and payroll.

Hmmm.... a heart-rate sustained below 40 bpm?? I'd be dead already.

My resting heart rate is in the mid 40's and occasionally when I'm in for a medical procedure that requires anesthesia it'll drop to 38-36 beats per minute. Freaks out the people who are performing the procedure so I warn them ahead of time that it's slow.

I would like to buy and wear an Apple Watch, but I think all it would tell me is “get yea to the emergency room immediately!”   

I believe its official lingo is “Hie thyself to a room of emergencies, posthaste!”

I get notifications on low (and high) heart rates from HeartWatch on Series 0. I suppose that functionality has just been absorbed into first-party app. However, I'm convinced the majority of times I get really high or low rates, it's just a false reading, because it instantly recovers and I don't feel a lurch of several dozen bpm.

Meanwhile I have read a couple of articles from critics who worry that this technology will cause too many false positives, cause more people to go to the emergency room which could affect the availability of prompt medical care for those who really do have a problem. That kinda makes sense I guess.

It might prevent some visits as well. If you're freaking out or having panic attack but your Watch says everything is just fine, it might save a trip to ER.
