HRV? Check. Heart rate variability, or HRV, is an indicator of how your body responds to stress and recovery. Overtraining or poor sleep can raise your stress and lower your HRV. With the most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable,2 Apple Watch Ultra 4 measures HRV as often as every five minutes and takes background heart rate readings every five seconds — the most frequent sensing ever for Apple Watch. And with the updated Heart Rate app and new watch face complications, you can easily view your readings anytime.
60xmore frequent background heart rate readings than Ultra 3
24xmore frequent HRV readings than Ultra 3
