It's very inconsistent. Did every 10 mins 3 times, then half hour, then 10 mins, then 3 hours.

I've contacted the chat support, they asked to restart devices, unpair watch, blah blah... Done done done... So they set up a phone call for tomorrow with the engineer dept. to gather more information
Would love to hear what, if anything, they conclude about this malfunction. Would be huge if you could post any news. My guess is it's a bug that requires a new OS update.
Mine has also been all over the place since 1.0.1. It has ranged from 10 minutes to 90 minutes. Something definitely went wrong with auto HR in this update. A little disappointing but I'm sure they will fix it, not the end of the world. It does still work just not very consistently.
I have to believe if we're all experiencing this issue, you know the higher ups in Cupertino are too, and will be on this pronto (fingers crossed).
absolutely ridiculous. Apple needs to seriously get better QC on software updates. Especially when there's no way of downgrading

Please report back after you have talked to the engineer. We would all appreciate it. I tried the unpair/pair process and it did not help.
This is probably because you didn't actually stop and save the workout before taking the watch off. I have done that before too after being on the elliptical. Eventually it just assumes you're done and stops itself.
So nobody else has had their watch produce "fake" heart rate measurement for hours on end when they were not even wearing it, like mine did the night before last?
It doesn't seem to have recorded any "ghost" heart rates last night, but the measurement times from yesterday are all over the place (except when I did an exercise session).

I find that the last reading on the watch glance can read quite a while back but the health app has a reading every 10 minutes consistently.
Is this problem likely to affect our exercise rings? I've only clocked 1 min of exercise today and it's nearly noon. Haven't had a particularly strenuous day but I'd expect more than that.
Hey you're right, the readings are there in health app! So it's just a UI bug with updating the text in the HR glance.
Mine aren't either. It's very unpredictable now, sometimes twice in 10 minutes, and then a gap of 2 hours. I do think it affects the exercise ring, but that's just a guess.
Mine's also showing every 10 minutes consistently in the Health app on the phone. If you tap one of the entries it will show what time the HR was added to the Health app, usually a couple minutes after acquisition from the watch. The function seems to be working perfectly.
I find it easier ( and quicker ) to check the data on the phone.
I have this same issue and my health app on the phone shows HR check every 10 minutes as many others as well. This has got to be a UI problem on the watch. I would assume the only fix would have to come from another update.
In the past two hours, my health app shows 3 readings. Thats all.
The glance on the watch says my last reading was 16 minutes ago and that matches what I see on the app. It used to be every 10 minutes prior to the update.
One thing though. My rate was pretty steady throughout the day and knowing that for an hour it was about the same was not that helpful. I wonder if this change is to watch for a reading outside of a range then it reports the swing or its just messed up.
