    S7 Heart rate rate sensor a bit "off"?

    Hello! I have a s7 Titanium apple watch and it's been working super nicely. Have had it since Nov 2021. Recently though, say for the last few weeks, i've noticed the heart rate sensor is just a bit "off". I find that in workouts, like runs, it takes about 5 min for it to get a reading which...

    Apple Watch Ultra - Heart Rate during runs does not work - spikes and stays high

    I bought the Apple Watch ultra for fitness and specifically running. The heart rate during rest appears to be fine. However, every time I go for a run it will spike to say 170 and stay there for the duration of the run. I tried unpairing, resetting, making sure settings were correct, and the...

    Random heart rate spikes while sleeping

    I recently noticed that, almost every night, my Apple Watch records heart rate spikes while I'm sleeping. It will show a reading around 50bpm then shoot up to 100bpm then back to 50bpm - a few times each night. I tried using a new Fitbit (that has continuous heart rate tracking) on another wrist...

    Technically speaking, why can’t the Apple Watch measure blood pressure?

    Hi, I was looking at the specs of the newer galaxy watches and I noticed that they support blood pressure monitoring. I didn’t see that much of a technical difference between that watch and the Apple Watch in terms of the sensors, so I was wondering why doesn’t the Apple Watch support blood...

    High heart rate alarm?

    I already owned a FitBit Versa—in fact, FitBit notified me early last year that I was having irregular heartbeat, enrolled me in a study to help them develop an atrial fibrillation tracking capability, lent me a one-week heart monitor that led to my having heart surgery this past October. After...

    Series 6 background measurements when not wearing the watch

    I noticed today that the sensors on the back of the watch were lit up (green light) when it was just sitting on the table. Then I checked my heart rate measurements and there were background measurements taken at times when I wasn't wearing the watch. Has anyone else noticed similar issues or...

    Heart Rate monitor on 3 vs 5 series

    Looking at both current models, the only key difference that might impact my use cases is the difference between the heart rate monitor in the two devices. Im hoping someone has some first hand experience, or even better, if there might be a detailed review on the difference in the heart rate...

    Is my heart rate broken?

    Hey all, So I've been fairly disappointed by my heart rate sensor so far. I've gone for a run and a bike ride and both times the workout app says the chart is unavailable. The info button says there wasn't enough measurements to create a chart. I did sync with Strava, which shows the heart rate...

    Apps Real Time Heart Rate Monitor?

    Hi! I’m using Apple Watch S3 Nike Edition for running and I’m seeing my heart rate but looks like it’s not in real time; looks like the system is taking some time to update the info in the display. Is there a way to see the real time info? Also. What about VO2? My wife is using a cheaper...

    Elevated heart Rate threshold ?

    Hello - I just got the series 3 Apple Watch and wanted to get a feel for the right Heart Rate Notification setting. I know this may be based on age/health condition but just wanted to get a feel for what others set to. Looks like a few studies say anything over 100BPM is cause for concern...

    Any heart rate/exercise experts?

    I bought an Apple Watch 3 to about 3 weeks ago. I ran with it once outside to calibrate my running info and have used it on the treadmill other times. I had been running 40 - 60 minutes at a 8 1/2 to 10 minute mile pace before I got the watch but have slowed down since because my heart rate...

    Inaccurate heart readings in walk mode

    As an athlete, one of the things I love about my Apple Watch (Series 3) is the very accurate heart rate function. I find it dead on in every mode I have tried - except one - the walking function of the exercise mode. I hated the three FitBit watches and the two Garmin VivoSmart HR+ watches I...

    Recovery heart rate on Health app?

    I love the feature of the recovery heart rate on my watch 3. The problem i’m finding (part from the graph and numbers being tiny!) is it’s only there on the watch for that day, once a new day starts (and had no excercise yet) then there is no recovery heart rate. Apple needs to put this on the...
