After the Apple Watch 1.0.1 Update, Heart Rate stopped working...

After I updated the latest software for the iwatch, the heart beat app does not appear on the running mode?

I usually used this to monitor my heart beat while doing fast track exercise regime. I only have the KM, Calories and time function but not the heart beat.

I also find the heart beat apps unable to provide the data consistently, it takes too long to give the reading and most certainly so much slower than before.

I just got my watch yesterday and installed the update right away, but noticed this same thing. I came here because I noticed it was not working. At least not consistently. I see one reading from two hours ago that seemed to have automatically appeared in the health app, but certainly not every 10 minutes like they say. Thought it was a problem with the sensor and was coming here to see if others had this problem, but maybe is an issue with the last update.

Noticing the same thing. After the update, HR monitoring is ver inconsistent. Definitely not every 10 minutes as it was before the update.

Also, on my bike ride this morning , about half the time i glanced at the watch .. it was searching for my heart rate. I never saw that before in workout mode prior to 1.01. I think the have introduced some new bugs.

same thing happened to me today.

i turned off the phone then turned off the watch then re-booted the phone and after the phone was up re-booted the watch....it worked for hourly for 3 hours and now it is not updating automatically

it works if i manually measure the heartbeat (and i can see the results on the watch but now it is not being recorded in the health app on the phone)

i just filed a bug report (21041080) supplement as necessary

does anyone have workflow in their "glances"?

I installed workflow in my glances last evening after the update and my battery usage on both the phone and watch are horrible today

Yes, same issue here. It has stopped taking my HR every 10 minutes since the OS update.

i also have the ap app on the phone-- but do not have it installed as a glance

The fact that it was having trouble acquiring my heart rate at least 1/2 the time I checked it this morning leads me to believe Apple made some sort of change to possibly increase battery life at the expense of frequent/accurate heart rate readings. I think the reason the every 10 minute readings are now sporadic is that the watch is trying, but failing to acquire a heart rate.

Personally I don't have a problem charging the watch multiple times during the day if I need to as long as my workout data is accurate and complete. I include my resting heart rate data in that as well. Personally I think Apple is overly obsessed with the battery life issue.

I hope 1.02 is out quickly with a fix.

I experience the same issue and called apple support to log the issue. It was working fine before the update, but now only manually updates when I go check my HR in the glances screen. It never checks HR otherwise.

I don't think this is new feature to conserve battery life, because it NEVER updates unless I check it manually - OR - use one of the workout apps.

I've hard reset my watch, reset it back to factory and reinstalled with nothing solving the issue.

Same baloney here. And this is MUCH worse than the original problem I found: Heart Rate Logging stops when using Walkmeter

I'm also experiencing this issue. I noticed the exercise time and calories are less than half the time it usually reports (and I moved the same, more or less) , maybe because both relies (heavily) on HR data.

IM getting the same issue too. Also logged with apple support.
