My Apple Watch stops tracking my heart rate during a workout

Why does my Apple Watch stop tracking my heart rate during a workout if I am still moving? I have cellular service with Verizon.

Apple Watch Series 9 - Heart Rate Monitoring During Some Workouts I have an Apple Watch Series 9. When I start an exercise like cycling or rowing, I have no issues with tracking my heart rate. If I start an exercise like paddling, outdoor walking, or just Other, my heart rate doesn't continuously track (you can see it trying but not succeeding). Is there a setting that controls this or is this just a bug in the watch?

Why does my series 7 watch not have a constant heart rate during my workouts or runs? Is it a flaw in the watch that it doesn’t keep a consistent heart rate during my workouts including running? Even if I wear a heart rate monitor it loses connection

real time heart rate using apple watch I would like to use my Apple watch to monitor my heart rate in real time while I work out and yet the BPM is only sporadically available when I check in during a Workout. It is not available often enough for me to judge whether I am staying in the zone I'm trying to maintain. I am considering buying a chest strap to pair with the watch. I live in a very remote location with no cell service when I'm working out outside and I wonder if the poor reception is due to that? Would pairing it with a chest strap help?

Check to see if you have "workout power saving mode" turn on,this turns off your heart monitor during workouts.

I checked and it was off. I also checked the background app refresh and heart rate is is turned on. I am not sure what else to do at this point. I appreciate your response @fireyjack
