Heart Rate monitoring

[newellj]

anything else use another device due to the Apple Watch HR problems? Garmin, Fitbit?

I have used Mio, Polar and FitBit. I have compared them and even the Polar H7, which is a really good chest strap monitor, is not more accurate for me that the AW. I will say I have had one or two workouts where the AW registered nothing, for some unknown reason, which has not happened with the Polar chest strap.

I think some people's anatomy makes for better or worse readings. I also think that it helps that I wear the AW fairly snugly.

Yes, it's not always 10 mins.

I checked my heart rate in health. Here are how time between checks.

2 mins
10 mins
2 mins
16 mins
12 mins
18 mins
6 mins
8 mins
2 mins

Looks like it picks up the HR data depending on movement.

That's right.

AW accurate for me within a couple beats of my Scosche Rythym +, which I generally wear for workouts anyway with the AW, my Fenix 3 or Fenix 5X.

I use HeartWatch app and have put HeartRate icon on my watch face, see no need for any other device.
