Apple Watch ‘detects’ pregnancy before clinical test, woman shares story on social media

Apple Watch has reportedly spotted a woman’s pregnancy before any clinical test. As per a post by a woman on Reddit, her Apple Watch alerts made her suspect that something is off when it indicated that her average resting heart rate had significantly increased over the last few days.

"Usually, my resting heart rate is about 57 and my heart rate has increased to 72. It's not a big jump, but it showed up on an alert that it's been higher for 15 days. I started trying to figure out why," the 34-year-old woman wrote on the platform.

"The watch knew I was pregnant before I knew it! I would have never ever tested without wearing my watch because I have not had a period to be late on one," she added.

Apple Watch is the most selling watch across the globe and it comes with tons of health related features that have saved hundreds of lives over the years. Recently, Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE along with iPhone 14 series.

Apple Watch Series 8 features the beloved design of Apple Watch, including a large, Always-On Retina display and a strong crack-resistant front crystal. With all-day 18-hour battery life, Apple Watch Series 8 comes with health and safety features like the ECG app and fall detection by introducing temperature-sensing capabilities, retrospective ovulation estimates, Crash Detection, and international roaming. 

The model is powered by watchOS 9, introducing new and more customisable watch faces like Lunar and Metropolitan, an enhanced Workout app, sleep stages, a first-of-its-kind AFib History feature, and an all-new Medications app.
