@dimitrios-kanellopoulos same here. Sometimes it needs over a minute. Definitly a bug.

Yeah not much faith in the instant HR. Shows 72 or doesn’t change if I increase activity. Stays the same until it times out and goes back to the main watch face. WHR seems to be fine during runs/excerise. Actually better than before the update. Any news on a bug fix? Or maybe I should try and reinstall the update, maybe that would fix it?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot what is the WHR version on your wathc ?

[Barfoot]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos its a Sport Wrist Hr All Black. Or do you mean the Valencell version?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot VAllencel version

[Barfoot]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Valencellsays 6571 in the settings. Am I looking in the right spot?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot yup that is the latest.

This still seems to be a bit buggy in .42, Valancell 6571.

Observed: swipe to instant HR, a number is displayed. This number is usually static, then reverts to the 72 number.

Expected: dynamic number reflecting HR.

Bug, or are my expectations incorrect?

[SlaSh]

@ze-stuart static number is last your hr, 72 number is starting point before hr lock and this should go away as misleading customers

Anyway, just wait 30 sec, more or less,than you should see hr refresh

30 secs are not instant HR. So, this is not working atm

[Shrek3k]

30 seconds should be the maximum time to fully initiate it, afterwards it should be “real real time”

@yannis-belouris
30 sec is (maybe was ?) the time frame needed to have a valid HR sampling.

If I remember well (I don’t have one) it’s the same for hr belt

My opinion is that we are mistaking a valid engineering limitation (30 secs) with a possible solution like sampling every minute and displaying this until a valid current HR sample.
We need to strive for an excellent customer experience despite hardware limitations
