Q: HRM stops when I elevate Heart Rate
I am not talking exercise here, but something like mowing the lawn. When my heart level goes up to maybe 60% of my max (just above walking effort), my Apple Watch just stops recording my heart rate. When I sit back down it starts up again.
If I am actually exercising using the app it work well
What gives?
Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.5

Hi
During general daily wear, Apple Watch aims to measure your heart rate regularly only when you are still / not active - so it is normal for readings not to be taken when you are active.
When recording a workout via the Workout app, your heart rate is instead measured continuously.
