Sweat interferes with heartrate monitor?

[Android Central Question]

I went for a run a couple of time and I happen to sweat very heavily all over, including my arms. On my run, the HR monitor on my galaxy watch stopped reading. Anybody got any tips or ideas on how to deal or work around this?

Welcome to Android Central!

Unfortunately, the HR sensor on the Galaxy Watch is just plain unreliable. I don't think there's anything we can do to make it better, and nearly every reviewer has said the same thing.

I ran a 5K several weeks ago, and the Galaxy Watch didn't measure heart rate for the majority of the race.
