This is an intermittent issue for me as well. I believe there is a lot of bluetooth communication between the AWatch and the iPhone when you start a Workout that prevents the heat rate to be properly tracked.


Normally this issue is only seen when recording a Workout. I believe after a reset it may start working but it is still an intermittent issue to begin with. But I think I have narrowed this issue down to the fact I started the Workout while wearing a bluetooth headset while listening to music or a podcast. It appears to be much more reliable if I start the Workout first then connect my bluetooth AirPods to start playing audio after it registers the heart rate.
