Samsung smartwatches are very popular because they have a huge range of functions and are now sold at attractive prices. But not everyone knows all the possibilities of the watch. For example, you can set an alarm that keeps an eye on your health.
Heart rate warning on Samsung smartwatches
Modern Samsung smartphones have an extremely large number of health functions. They basically monitor the entire body and therefore have an optimal overview of the strain on the body. But every person is different and has different stress limits. That’s why there are different options, Warnings to set that indicate you, when you put too much strain on your body.
For example, you can use one in Samsung Health on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (test). Set heart rate warning, which informs you if the heart rate is too low or too high. This is particularly important for people who need to pay attention to their heart rate for health reasons. The doctor will often tell you what heart rate you should not exceed. If you set a limit in the smartwatch, you will be automatically warned (source: SamMobile).
To set the heart rate warning, go to your Samsung smartwatch Go to Settings, then Samsung Health and looks for the heart rate entry. There you will find two setting options. You can set a warning for a heart rate that is too high or too low. Both do not need to be activated. For example, if you set 140 there, you will receive an alarm if your heart rate exceeds this value.

Many more features in Samsung smartwatches
Samsung smartwatches can not only monitor your heart rate and warn you, but also measure your blood pressure or record an ECG. Both of these only work if you also use a Samsung smartphone, as this is the only way Samsung Health can exploit its full potential.
