heartfrequency not consistently measured while workout.

Hi! My Apple Watch 8 is not consistently measuring the heart frequency while working out (walking / fitness).

sometimes it works for a couple of minutes and then 5-6 minutes longer nothing gets measured.

Sometimes it helps to restart the watch oder kill the apps and restart.

Ist this an issue with the os (newest) or is the watch not working ?

Apple Watch 7 won’t display resting heart rate and walking average after update I recently updated my watch to iOS 9, and now all of the sudden the Heart app will not display my resting heart rate, nor will it displayed the walking average. All it shows is two dashed lines for each. I have never had this problem with any Apple Watch or any other update. I know the app is working properly because it does display my current heart rate. When I realized the issue yesterday, I noticed that somehow Background App Refresh for heart rate was turned off (assuming it somehow did that during the update) so when I turned it back on, it seems to have worked but now it’s not working again.

Watch Ultra 2, erratic heart rate measurement. after turning on the sports program, the watch either does not measure at all or starts measuring the heart rate only after a while. There are also cases when heart rate measurement turns off in the middle of sports. I tried everything - I checked all possible options that might prevent measurement, paired/unpaired, checked the privacy settings, rebooted, checked the watch by connecting it to another phone, also disconnected it from the phone and tried it on another person, but the situation did not change - heart rate measurement takes place then when the clock wants. All latest updates also installed. went to local Apple store, but technicians didn't find anything.

Why does the Apple Watch Workout stop reading my Heart Rate? I've been having this issue since Watch Series 3 and Watch Series 6 a few months later (on WatchOS 9 is when it did this FYI). When I finish charging and I start a workout to go for an Outdoor Walk, my heart rate stops working. It begins from 115 BPM my normal heart rate on a brisk walk down to 90 BPM and starts circling to find my heart rate. It only works again if I have Heart Rate app on the watch and check my pulse once it stops working. It blacks out and no Zone Recording is completed for a length of my exercise of 30 minutes.
