Apple Watch heart monitor

It takes sometimes up to 1 mile for my Apple Watch to register my heart rate whilst I’m running.

is this normal for everyone else? Or is my watch crap?

series 7

fully up to date with software.

just over 1 year old.

this isn’t a new problem.

Apple Watch Series 7, 9

So Heart Rate works when you're standing, but not when you're running? If that's so, it's probably not your watch. I could be that the watch is slipping while you run. Have you tried tightening the band? See if that helps.


And, do you have tattoos on your wrist?
