I know that there’s an option you can set when using the Workout app to turn off the cellular and heart rate sensors while exercising, but would like to know if anyone has found a way to just turn off the heart rate sensor (and keep LTE active). I’d like to try this setting for some of my long runs. Thanks.
 
Watch app on phone---->My Watch------>Settings----->Privacy------>Heart Rate toggle.

This turns off use of heart rate sensor. Unfortunately this also prevents the watch from using external heart rate sensors since it is a global heart rate privacy setting.
