Heart rate sensor apple watch se

Hi, is it normal that heart rate sensor doesn’t remain always on? If so how can the reading be accurate in calorie calculation?

thanks!

Apple Watch Ultra Heart Rate During Workout I’ve been having problems with my Apple Watch ultra. basically as seen in the photos I’ve attached, every workout I do starts with the Apple Watch reading my heart rate and then for the next 5-10 minutes it doesn’t read at all. I’ve looked everywhere and read different forums and tried every setting possibility out there but none of it seems to work because it looks like I’m the only one with this problem, I’ve tried loosing and tightening my strap but it doesn’t effect the process. I’ve came to conclusion that this is a bug in the workout app because the heart rate sensors work and as seen they read my heart rate through the other half of my workout. if anyone else has this problem please let me know.

Many thanks for your reply. And would that help with accurate overall readings as opposed to fitness tracker with continuous heart rate?

It takes a reading about every 10 minutes and averages it out over the day.

During a workout it measures constantly.

I've always found it more than acceptable.
