Apple Watch crown not picking up heart rate ecg - Issues with ECG and Heart Rate Detection After Updating to WatchOS 10.3.1
Hi everyone,
I've encountered a problem with my Apple Watch (Model M00H3B/A) regarding the ECG and heart rate monitoring functionalities. Before updating to WatchOS 10.3.1, both features were working perfectly. However, since the update, I've noticed that the heart rate readings have become erratic, and the ECG function often fails to complete a reading.
Here are the symptoms in more detail:
- The watch does pick up a heart rate, but the readings are erratic and then the countdown fails and watch cant read. Note heart beat app works fine, so thinks its crown related
- The ECG function fails approximately 8 out of 10 times.
- On the few occasions I've managed to get an ECG reading, I had to remain extremely still and apply significant pressure to the crown. I've ensured the watch is fastened tightly to my wrist.
I've already attempted a hard reboot of the device, but the issue persists. It might be coincidental, but these problems started after the recent update to WatchOS 10.3.1.
Has anyone experienced similar issues, or does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
