Hopefully this fixes my issues with my workouts where the activity minutes are not tracked right.
You too? I opened a case with Strava over the rides I was doing not showing with the full time span being reported. The weird thing is that the time reported through all of the various apps I use, up until the data gets to the Apple Rings, and then they lose a percentage of the activity. Weird. And I'm, perhaps obviously, using a dedicated HRM, and the data seems to be spot on. Strava got to the point they had transferred my issue to second level support, and they were stumped. I finally sent in all of the various app data that was generated, and they pointed out the Apple Ring inaccuracy/alteration. I didn't want to open a case with Apple over it because the last case I opened was treated so weirdly. *shrug*
I'll watch this thread and see if the problem is 'fixed'. I mean, how stupid does an app have to be to literally pull a number out of the air with so many reporting the correct number...

I have been able to fix this issue to a certain extent: Cooler/cold days, I make sure to wear long sleeves to keep my wrist area warm. Wet days have been a hit or miss, but sporting a velcro band and tightening it up has helped tremendously. Warm days are typically problem free, I’d say 95% of the time my AW tracks my heart rate just fine. Surprisingly, though, my swimming sessions have been problem free when it comes to tracking my heart rate given all the trouble I’ve had during wet/cold outdoor activities. I am yet to figure out what is causing all the inconsistency.
To your point, skipping heart rate has been a noticeable issue for me especially the last 6-9 months but the things I mentioned above has helped me track my workouts more accurately.
Cheers!
I don't run anymore, but on my bikes, I always use a dedicated HRM. I guess I've avoided this issue. Back in the day when I did ride, I didn't have much of a problem, but that was years ago. Things change, and hopefully for the better. *shrug*

My watch still hasn't done the last update. Just an endless loop of "Unable to check for update" or "Update failed". Updating watch OS is the worst experience I've had with any Apple product. It just doesn't work.
I had some issues, and Apple's routine first thing to do seems to be to erase/reset the watch, and reinstall it, which takes so much time, and, yeah, usually doesn't fix whatever was going wrong.
