Can you solve this Apple Watch problem for me???

from Evan Carmichael - Believe: Unlocking Your True Potential Hosted by Evan Carmichael

In this video, Evan shares a personal health challenge he's trying to solve using his Apple Watch. He's focused on keeping his resting heart rate low to improve longevity, sleep, and overall health. But he quickly discovered a big limitation—Apple’s Heart Rate alert only lets you set notifications for spikes starting at 100 BPM, and he wants to be notified when his heart rate goes above 85 BPM instead. Evan walks through why this matters to him and how the current Apple Watch settings fall short. He explains that he only wants one notification on his watch: a buzz on his wrist when his heart rate goes too high while he's resting. No texts, no emails—just heart rate alerts. But with the current Apple Watch options, it’s not customizable below 100 BPM, which defeats the purpose for his health goals. He’s now looking for solutions and turns to the audience for help. Is there a third-party app that can alert him at 85 BPM? Is there a hack to override Apple’s settings? Or is there a better fitness tracker or wearable that handles this better? If you’ve found a workaround, a new app, or use a different device for heart rate tracking, drop it in the comments. Your tip might help Evan—and others—solve this frustrating problem.
