does anyone know how to fix this issue: whenever I start an exercise bike workout on my galaxy watch 4 it always loses my heart rate after about 2 minutes and stays lost for multiple minutes until the end of the workout where it comes back for like a minute, I've tried wearing it in every conceivable position, tight loose, inside of arm, outside, left, right, I even tried shaving the hair off of my arm in the spot where my watch is but nothing, any other work out works totally fine, it also fully reads my recovery heart rate afterwards without issue, saw a lot of people on reddit talking about it but no actual solutions. also this is a recent thing, as in the last 2 months or so, never had a problem before in the year+ I've owned it.

sourdough posted:I switched from using strava to using samsung health to start/track exercises way back when I was having this issue and it seemed to go away. If you're already using samsung health, idk I do use samsung health, doesn't matter I threw it into a dumpster on my way out, today it just slowly went from resting to like 90 where it would cut in and out repeatedly and when it came back it just said 90-100 when I can put my finger on my neck and feel my bpm way higher than 100 thanks for trying to help though. edit: wow whats up with all the people selling watch 5s with broken sensor ports as "like new open box"? did they change the definition of like new when I wasn't looking? runaway dog fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Nov 11, 2023 |

I'm shilling this watch face carbon neon has a great always on mode makes your watch look like a tokyo flash. plus you can flex your clock reading skills, that or be early or late to a lot of stuff.

Well gosh, color me impressed, a mere 3 months later and my GW5 has already developed the same problem I ditched the GW4 for, and it's getting worse and worse every time I use it.   I'm debating not learning my lesson and doing a trade in for the GW6 runaway dog fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jan 25, 2024 |

TBH the GW was the only smart watch I ever saw that made me go "oo I think I actually want a smart watch." It just looks so clean and minimal as an actual accessory. Love the flat screen and hard edges and it was relatively thin, dresses well with any outfit casual or formal. the PW rounded glass "orb" look just looks aesthetically displeasing, I can't explain it, it's like something from the Jetsons, the Garmins all just look like big knobby gshock watches or pure fitness trackers, I just know me and I know if I bought a watch that I didn't like the look of I'd just end up never wearing it thus defeating the purpose. Though it not working is not ideal, drat you samsung. I'd consider the AW as a runner up, however it doesn't want to play nice with android.
