watchOS 10.1 : Heart rate complication invisible

I’m having the same issue. I’ve found that it still works on the sub-dial top of the Infograph watch face, but that’s the only watch face it’s still visible on for me. The calendar complication isn’t working either.

Same...my watch updated a couple nights ago and now no longer shows heart rate on the face. I have tried resetting the face, switching to a different face and then switching back and I've also restarted my watch but the issue does not resolve.

It still doesn’t give the number on your face screen just shows a heart. Which would be same thing as it not showing up. When it doesn’t show up on the other faces if you click where supposed to be it opens app. Which same thing as the modular face you just see the heart only difference.

Mine just came back. I put modular face on set it up left it for a few then clicked heart for heart rate then closed it out then deleted it went back to my original face and it’s there and not invisible

Mine doesn't display at all either. Super frustrating. Like most others, I can click where it's supposed to be and it opens the app and will display there, but won't display on the watch face. This really needs to get fixed ASAP.

I found on another thread (Reddit) a solution. They suggested a free app called Heart Analyzer and I used it as my complication. It seems to work fine, however the heart rate can be up to 10 minutes in the past. It appears the heart rate updates sooner than that sometimes, probably if there is a noticeable change.

I think I solved the problem. Delete the Watch Faces with the heart rate showing from your watch directly. Just keep the simple ones without too many complications. Then load the watch face for example the Nike Digital one with heart rate complication at the bottom onto your watch. I did this process two times and it started working again on every watch face that I downloaded directly from the watch. Do not load the watch face from the phone onto the watch!!!

Adding different apps, changing faces is not resolving the issue. Apple needs to put out an update to fix this as that is where the problem lies. It is ridiculous to have to do a workaround for a problem Apple created!

I just added the Mickey Mouse watch face, added the heart rate complication to the bottom and it totally worked for me! All my other activity faces now have the heart rate showing at the bottom. So odd, thank you!

"I just added the Mickey Mouse watch face, added the heart rate complication to the bottom and it totally worked for me! All my other activity faces now have the heart rate showing at the bottom. So odd, thank you!"

It will hang there, later after 2 days and on... it will not and never update. My Mickey mouse face already showing 9 days ago heart rate...

According to MacRumors, the next patch (17.1.1) will be coming in a couple of weeks, but wasn't clear about which bugs it would be fixing. Apparently there is a significant battery drain problem too (which I haven't experienced). https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/watchos-update-coming-soon-with-fix-for-apple-watch-battery-drain.2409877/

As a couple others have said, I downloaded the app heart analyzer and it syncs with the Apple Watch. You can put the complications on the watch faces and it works great. I actually like it as I can get more detailed info on my watch concerning my heart activity. At least until Apple fixes their problem.

I am also facing same issue and tried all possible options and suggestions provided on different forums. No use. Still heart rate complication is not visible. This is really ridiculous and unacceptable from Apple, releasing the OS updates without checking the such a major bugs.

I have had the same problem and frustration as everyone else. I contacted Apple support last night spent an hour and a half on the phone with them as they told me I would need to reset the Watch previous to the 10.1 update. We did that and it did not go back to 10.0 and stayed at 10.1 the 10.1 update has caused all these problems. Someone made mention in another comment in the same thread that the Heart Analyzer application works for them. I downloaded the Heart Analyzer app use the Watch app on the phone to add it to the Watch and put it on my Watch face and it works just like the previous one that is now invisible so I can look at my watch, and it tells me how many beats per minute I had the last time the Watch checked my heart rate , so that’s a workaround that seems to be working fine for me right now. The Heart Analyzer app when you look at it on the phone has taken over all the data from the Apple Watch app and has much more data interpretation than what the Apple application did so far that Heart Analyzer app is doing a much better job .

I reached out to the developer of the Heart Analyzer app. It works fine for me but there is delay of up to 10 minutes at times. Here is his answer:

Generally on the Apple Watch third party app complications update roughly every 10-15 minutes. Unfortunatly this is not always as often as the built in Apple complications. The watch tends to measure your heart rate every 5 minutes, so there can occasionally be some discrepancy, but not much. If you don’t think your complications are updating this much, can I suggest the following things:

Try checking the app has background refresh enabled in the Apple Watch App for iPhone -> General -> Background Refresh

Try launching the watch app when the data is stale, swipe right twice and select Refresh, see if this kicks it back into sync with the auto updates

Try uninstalling and re-installing the app
