Is Apple Watch supposed to provide constant BPM readings when in workout mode?
Checked every 60 secs over 30 min workout and I only got 3 readings. So 27 times the BPM was grayed out.
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6
Is the watch band tight enough?
Make sure Watch & iPhone are on charger.
Try updating via iPhone > Watch app > My Watch > General > Software Update.
If there's problem updating via iPhone, try directly on the Watch > Settings > General > Software Update.
Did you update watchOS to version 6.2.1 ?
Do you have tattoo?
Are the skin wet (perspiration)?
Did you try wearing on the other arm?
Yes, I believe so. I tried tightening it but it made no difference. I also held it against my wrist but it didnt read any better.
I cleaned it under running tap and it was slightly better but back to the same old issue a day later
No tattoo. Sometimes perspiration but on the above 30 min exercise very doubtful it was not hard exercise.. I don't see this as an issue otherwise I would have got consistent readings for the first 10 or 15 mins, but I didn't, there was only one reading in that time. I don't remember any issue when I first bought the watch approx one year ago. I can try on the other hand but it will feel wierd
I am on 6.1.3 I went to settings and Update but it wont update. I put it on charger for 30 mins but no change, now I see "Unable to check for Update. An error occured wihile checking for a software update. I have hit try again and put it on charger
Apple watch does not read BPM consistently.
