Auto HR not working hourly

[cliffy223]

I found the setting to enable Auto HR and I changed the setting to moderate. It worked twice in a row but then it stopped checking an hour later and never worked again. Is there something that is happening to keep the watch from checking every hour? Thanks

You have to make sure that the watch is on your wrist nice and snug. If it moves around and then is trying to check your HR it will just fail

If you have darker skin or a tattoo where the sensor sits it might be trying to get a reading but can't. From what I've read all health geared devices that use a light sensor (like the S does) suffer to some extent and the solution is put the watch on so the face is on the inner wrist .
