A Kansas woman whose Apple Watch started beeping when it detected her rapid heartbeat says she won't be taking the smartwatch off – it may have saved her life. 

Heather Hendershot, of Scranton, told the Topeka Capital-Journal that her new Apple Watch began beeping while she was watching TV at about 9pm on a Saturday last month. Scranton is in Osage County south of Topeka.
