Hi
To disable mobile data and the built-in heart rate sensor during running and walking workouts, enable Power Saving Mode:
- On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Workout > turn on Power Saving Mode.
- Note that calorie estimations may be less accurate as a result.
To disable heart rate monitoring completely:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Privacy > turn off Heart Rate.
