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.
