I use a new iWatch to capture heart rate data. Notice how there are long periods of time when the data is not being continuously imported. Any suggestions on how to fix? 

 

Hi ​@rec3,

by iWatch, do you mean Apple Watch? Or yet something else? You could be using some kind of power saving mode with less frequent HR readings.

Regardless of the actual watch:

  • make sure that the wristband is correctly tightened, not too loose 
  • if you're on the southern hemisphere / cold area, don't let your wrist freeze (keep it covered with a long sleeve), otherwise your capillaries shrink and the optical sensor won't be able to read the HR properly 
  • if you have tattoos on your wrist, consider wearing the watch on the other hand
