Apple Watch's accelerometer will track small movements of the wrist that may indicate breathing disorders. If these abnormalities are observed for several nights in a row, there is a possibility that the person has sleep apnea. This is a serious condition in which breathing stops periodically during sleep, so you should pay special attention to the warning.
