I am 32 years old, so it should be 188(ish). I usually play basketball once a week and routinely get my heart rate to 192-193.  Tonight I played 5-5 and was shocked to see I got my heart rate up to 203. I know the apple watches are not full proof, but when I check against when I am working out on a cardio machine, it is usually pretty dang close.

Now I used to run marathons... 10 years ago.. and I do bike/lift almost daily 6-7 days a week.  And tonight I could have kept playing, I didn’t feel the shakes or getting weak.  

So what really is a persons max heart rate?  It is going to differ for everyone, but should I try to not let 200+ happen again?

For what it’s worth, my resting heart rate is low 40’s and even high 30’s from time to time

In your 30s and you excersize pretty much every day? Unless you smoke or something, I think you're probably okay. Male sure you're replenishing elctrolytes of course.
