Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Sometimes I will look down at my watch and it will display my heart rate as of "47 minutes ago" or other long periods of time. This, to me, implies that it is not reading it regularly and therefore may inaccurately be measuring my calories burned throughout the day. Can someone shed some light on where to see or adjust the frequency of heart rate readings or why it would display what it was so long ago?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

The next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:

Your heart rate. What it means, and where on Apple Watch you’ll find it. – Apple Support
The watch measures your heart rate approximately once every 10 minutes by default and only measures your heart rate constantly while you have started a workout from the workout app.
There are no settings to edit,these are the watch's default settings.
Then why does it display my heart rate as if 47 mins ago?
Heart rate infrequently measured
