Apple Watch Ultra - Wrong heart rate readings Hi, my AWU isn’t recording accurate heart rate recovery readings. Last night it recorded my heart rate recovery at 51bpm from 165 after a run into a walk, that’s lower than my sleeping heart rate! It’s ruining all my stats.

Apple Watch 7 won't read heart rate when out for a run Hi, I use my Apple Watch 7 to track my exercise, specifically when I'm out for a run. I've noticed recently that it tracks my heart rate less and less - my most recent run, it probably measured heart rate for about 20% of my run. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks, Phil
