Heart rate on workouts drops out

When doing a workout my heart rate on my new Apple Watch series 9 keeps going and I have to tap on watch to check heart rate again, I never had this issue with series 6.

it means my workout is not accurate, while looking for my heart rate it records it at the rate prior to loosing it so I flatline on the workout.

it’s really irritating when I want to keep a record of which zone I am in throughout workout

I had same issue with my Ultra 2, tried everything that is written on the internet, also checked with authorised service and warranty center.

overall nobody found anything.


atfer some time testing it out by myself i found out that you need to wear your watch over the wrist, where watch can't move when youre using your hand. Its about 2-2,5 fingers from the wrist or half-one fonger from a wrist bone.

And it should be more tightly fastened while running, or lifting weights for watch not to move.
