Apple Watch Heart Rate complication

Every so often a blue box appears around the Heart Rate complication - only around the the heart icon, nothing else. Does anyone know what this is attempting to communicate?

What causes Low Heart Rate readings on my Apple Watch? I've noticed that heart rate data has been showing low rate of 0.. is this accurate? Would it be capturing long pauses in heart beats? Or is this a glitch. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Heart rate during workout on watch 10 Hello, when starting a workout, heart rate is very unreliable. It can be “in gray” and it can take as long as 20 minutes before having a real first heart rate. Sometime it will stay ok for the rest of the workout, but sometime it goes gray again. Sometime, it won’t be grayed but will have a very too high measurement (like 170++ when I know I’m not even 130). All the permission are granted, as “outdoor walking” is mostly OK, but as soon as I go “outdoor run”, it goes crazy. Same behavior with built-in app or 3rd party like workoutdoor. Note that i’m an apple watch user since series 4 and i’ve never had this issue before my new Watch 10, last september. any idea? Thanks.

apple x heart rate measuring problem while doing workout During my outdoor walking workouts, it would take 4 minutes before my heart rate began to register on my watch. I experienced the same issue when running - it took 3 minutes for my heart rate to be recorded. I had previously reported this problem to Apple customer service when I was using a Series 7 watch, hoping it would be resolved. However, even after upgrading to two newer generations of Apple Watches, the problem persisted on the 10th generation model as well. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this same heart rate tracking issue with their smartwatches.
