Not really, but I found it interesting and helpful just to check my rate at various points in the day, or if I felt something weird (the key there is being able to feel it), I could quickly glance at the watch (which showed each heartbeat as a flashing little heart icon) and see what was going on.
Those were also the days that when I went out running or walking I had my cell phone pre-dialed to 911 so I could react quickly if I was passing out...
Which I never did.
This stuff makes you do crazy things sometimes.
But it wasn't unusual for me to sit down to the computer and have a HR in the 80's, and then a couple hours later, it'd be down in the low 50's. And then I'd stretch or something and it'd jump back up to the 80's, then slowly settle into the 60's, high 50's, then low-mid 50's.
Knowledge is power, I guess. Or fuel for fear. Sometimes both.
