See if you have workout power saving mode enabled,this turns off the heart monitor during workouts.

Why no heart rate on series 7 outdoor walk I just upgraded to the series 7 Apple Watch and heart rate is no longer an option for display. On the watch app, outdoor walk, metrics, it’s greyed out. My series 6 always showed it. I’ve checked on both the phone and watch that all the appropriate things are toggled on, in every possible place

Help Q: Heart rate is not available under metrics for run or walk workouts on Workout App I have the Apple Watch 2. For some reason "heart rate" is greyed out and not an option for indoor/outdoor run or walk under the Workout App. Clicking the edit button does nothing. Restarting both devices does nothing. Repairing does nothing. Help.

Apple Watch heart rate continuously greyed out?? Hi, I have a relatively new Apple Watch SE but I have noticed, particularly when using Apple fitness +, that the heart rate often greys out and is seemingly trying to get a better reading; but I’m wondering if this affects calorie burning results in the longer run and it isn’t tracking my workout properly? Is there any way to fix this??
