Apple releases watchOS 6.1.3, watchOS 5.3.5 updates, chases down irregular heart rhythm notification bug for Icelandic users

It’s generally never a bad idea to snag an operating system update.

If you live in Iceland and own a recent model Apple Watch, you’ll want this one.

Apple on Tuesday released its watchOS 6.1.3 update, which includes bug fixes, improvements, and a critical fix for an issue that prevented the irregular heart rhythm notification from working as expected for Apple Watch owners in Iceland.

For those who have compatible Apple Watch models but still use an iPhone that runs iOS 12, Apple has also released the watchOS 5.3.5 update. Users can update the Apple Watch through app Watch on iPhone.

The full change log describes the fixes, albeit not in absolute detail:

“This update includes improvements and bug fixes, including a fix for an issue that prevented the irregular heart rhythm notification from working as expected for Apple Watch owners in Iceland.
