Activity app and heart rate not working

When I try to open the activity app on my watch the screen goes dark, and yesterday it didn’t record my workout. The heart rate app doesn’t work either. I’ve restarted multiple times and both my watch and phone have the latest software. Very frustrating.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

Problems with activity tracker, ECG and heart rate app Hi folks, I have the iPhone 11 128gb and watch series 5. Since updating to iOS 14 and OS 7 the activity tracker, heart rate app and ECG app have all stopped working. I have turned the watch off, but nothing appears to be working since I have restarted it. I am putting it down to the software updates, has anyone else had issues? How have they resolved it? Thanks

Help Q: Heart rate is not available under metrics for run or walk workouts on Workout App I have the Apple Watch 2. For some reason "heart rate" is greyed out and not an option for indoor/outdoor run or walk under the Workout App. Clicking the edit button does nothing. Restarting both devices does nothing. Repairing does nothing. Help.

I'd try unpairing the watch from your iPhone then pairing it back setting it up as new.
