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.

Gaps in heart rate during workout My watch doesn't always capture my heart rate during a workout. There are often big gaps in my heart rate.

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.

All the members suggestions I have seen are to wear the watch for as long as possible before starting the workout or even do a warm up first.

eg put the Watch on as soon as you wake, do your ablutions and get your pre workout hydration etc and check the HR is showing before starting.

Its what I do on my SE sd my Polar before that, but I only noticed it being a problem for Ultra owners and 8 minutes is a common figure.
