I'm not the most athletic of people, yet this is not an uncommon sight on my garmin app, and I have confirmed it by manual measurement. Dear lazyweb, should I be asking my doctor about bradycardia?

Thanks to everyone who responded -- For reference, that 42 was while awake, though quite relaxed. In fact, I'm sat at my desk typing this and my pulse is only 51 now. I think, since I'm not overly fatigued/worried, I'll just tack it onto the list of things to ask GP next time.

When I got my Apple Watch, I tried a bit of jogging. I managed 200bpm.

200bpm jogging is worryingly high. I think 190 is the most I've ever had mine reach, while sprinting v.hard at the end of a 5k run.

Blimey. When I remember to wear mine it tells me my VO2 Max is that of a 78 year old 😞

Oh my vo2-max is awful because I'm asthmatic but my pulse seems good :D

You've been working lots of cardio ... check with your doc but I wouldn't panic just yet

Probably worth checking in with your doctor if it’s happening a lot but given that you’re doing a lot of cardio and weight loss if you haven’t noticed any ill effects it’s probably fine.

If you wear it to sleep, that's still normal. If you have <50bpm awake and fatigue, weakness, dizziness or sweating, then definitely doctor
