My watch's heart rate reader broke, and before I disabled it, it would wake me up at 3am to tell me my heart had stopped. Nothing gets your heart going like finding out you're dead, funnily enough.

    In the first year of dating my spouse, they took off their pants and I got a nosebleed. It HAD to be a coincidence because that’s never happened to me before AND I had seen their magnificent bod many times before that… it felt very gay anime moment.

    Nah, believe in the magic. Arousal increases blood pressure, which increases the risk of nose bleeds, and sure there were probably other factors but the point is there's ALWAYS other factors so it was definitely the situation and no one can prove otherwise

    Can you preprogram a watch to do that? Like set a timer and impress the other person who thinks it's real

    Most modern smartwatches have heartrate monitoring. So you could probably set some kind of alert if your heartrate goes above a certain threshold. If you set the threshold low enough, you should be able to trigger the alert on cue.

    Gets up from sitting position, thinking about what moment might be right

    My Garmin complained about this all the time. When it constantly beeped in class one day, I just turned it off.
