I am a very anxious person and the most recent update has made the heart rate monitor something I can’t use effectively anymore.

I do not like seeing the animated heart. I realize I can go down a level on the scroll wheel, but I would prefer to keep with the static graph ir having an option of the heart not animating with the HR. It’s too difficult to watch for long, even at low levels feels anxiety inducing and I don’t like it.

This is aggravating, because this is really the majority of what I use the watch for is monitoring my health and this is just an aspect of it I find to be upsetting in it’s change. I don’t feel the pulsating heart is helpful to anyone who is stressed. It may be good for exercise or whatever, but it’s not calming or helpful when I’m trying to diagnose my pain flares from actual elevated heart rate.

I relied on the static dot chart and the current heart rate in the monitoring app.

If it’s still available in a complication on one of the alternate watch faces, someone could let me know, I rarely go into the app on my phone.

This may be worse than when Apple made the podcast app into a reel to reel player.
