When I scroll right to view the Heart Rate Tile sometimes it shows the Heart Rate Range for the day. Other times it shows the Heart Rate Now taking and displaying the current real-time heart rate.
When it is showing the Range I can't figure out how to get it to show the real-time heart rate Now.
Up until now my solution has been to power off/restart the watch. It then shows the Heart Rate Now. There must be a better way.
Thanks,
Barry.
I did some more Google searching and found this post:
How To Fix Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 heart rate not showing Issue
https://thedroidguy.com/galaxy-watch-4-heart-rate-not-showing-1162756
I guess it's a known problem. Some of the suggestions include restarting the watch, making sure one of the two Continuous modes is selected in settings, and making sure the watch is worn correctly,

Hi Just wondering if there was a way to do a custom workout in s health then add to phone. Or is there a third party app that works on the watch to do this?
Or how do I get the ''otherworkout'' to at least record my heartrate

I too would like to know if this is a possibility. Seems like a pretty major oversight in my opinion.
I lift weights and the only s health workout i can find that doesn't pause constantly and still measures my heart rate is a treadmill workout. it doesn't use the gps feature, and records my real time heart rate. I left feedback for the same exact thing on the appstore for S Health.

Absolutely. There is a definite cardio benefit, when lifting at a high enough intensity, and it's generally a good visualization for me to see what my heart rate was doing when lifting, so I know if I need to turn it up, or if I'm where I want to be.
There needs to be a "General" or Weight Lifting" option, with the continuous HR monitoring.
Come on, Samsung.
I agree entirely, Samsung needs to add a general strength training or weight training option which also records heart-rate! It is cumbersome and impractical to have individual exercises for weight training not to mention lack of HR for those exercises.
Hello,
my S3 frontier only tracks the heart rate when I´m doing nothing and not while being active.
As soon as my watch recognizes any activity, the heart rate is not being tracked anymore, whereas outside of any activity, the heart rate is tracked about every 10 minutes. Is that normal?
Thanks for answers
When you say "active" do you mean a workout or other planned activity?
When I start a workout on my watch (e.g., elliptical) my heart rate is shown on my watch the entire time.
So sounds like you mean you're just being active (not starting a workout type on the watch) and while you're doing that you can't get a heart rate from the watch?
I work as Tennis Coach and sometimes in Group Training, I Start playing myself. The watch recognizes this as "other workout". I dont start a workout by myself on the watch. And in this time, the heart rate stops being tracked. If I want to track it manually it says that I have to clean my wrist. So it seems that the sweat stops the watch tracking my heart rate. I dont know
I've never got this to work. Using the Walk function I walked around our mall, a distance of .7 mi, and it shows either a mile or a half mile, the heartrate is in the 120 range, and the time is off by 20 mins. Anyone have an answer for this? It kinda defeats the purpose of having a "fitness" function when it's not accurate.
Auto pause and / or Dynamic workout might be your culprit.
Auto Pause will automatically pause the workout if it thinks you are taking a break, then restarts it when you start moving.
Dynamic Workout Detection will start a new workout if it thinks you are exercising. It might be overriding your Walk function if it thinks you're doing more than walking.

Hello all,
I recently bought a Samsung Gear S3 and I am satisfied so far. I however missing a feature that I had in Garmin watch. I would like to set specific max/min value limits for current pace and current hear rate. I want the watch to show me alerts when passing the limits. Do anybody know if that is possible on Samsung Gear S3?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Mike
After a long period of time, researching all over the internet & talking to Samsung, I now finally have an app that gives me a warning when my heart rate goes over a set amount. I can program the notification value, vibration intensity & amount of vibrations using the gear watch without having to be connected to anything else.
"Heart Rate Graphic" by Igor Cherneyshov is well worth installing on your gear watch. It's even free. If you want heart rate notification, install this app. Been looking since December for this basic feature.
Sorry only does maximum heart rate warning.
Nice find! Installed it to try
I'm loving my new gear sport especially with the look, speed of operation and battery life for a full colour display due thanks to Tizen ecosystem. I have been looking for ages for some way to have an alarm when my heart rate goes over say 150bpm. I would like it to be persistent until my heart rate drops below that level again. I did find an app called heartby which does pretty much just what I want except for when the screen times out and it no longer sends me alarms. I have tried to contact the developer, but haven't had a reply yet. I understand that the watch isn't meant to be relied on for any medical condition and don't have a heart condition but this would really help me out. Does anybody know of an app which I could use or a system setting that might achieve this. At the moment I use the other workout option in samsung health. I Just changed my age to an age which will give me the maximum heart rate I want as the zones can't be manually set up but it isn't persistent.

Thx for your answer Fipoly, i am looking for an app measuring low or irregular heart rate, alarming - messaging/calling contacts/assistance....
I use the SOS feature where you press the bottum button x3 with a 5sec countdown. Don't think you'll find an automatic way of doing it. You can user Monitor by appyhapps for low HR but nothing for irregular as the watch isn't accurate enough.
I'm finding HR graphics is chewing up my battery since the tizen 4.0.0.2 update. Hoping for a fix soon.
I need a vibration warning when my heart rate goes over a specified rate. Can you let me know if you find something.
I just found this app and going to try it out. Unfortunately it costs around $1 but don't mind paying for an app that does what we want. I will update this after I've tried it for a while.
HR monitor plus
By Roger van Hout
Unfortunately the app only works while the screen is on with it displayed. It stops monitoring HR when screen is off or app is in background.
Have contacted designers, but no one has emailed me back at this stage
After time, somehow the heart rate graphic app is now working better on my watch. There was no update of the watch or the app but somehow is gone back to the battery usage I used to get. It's a stand alone app on the watch so should and does use less power than others I've tried. I love the customisable amount of vibrations that you get as you know without doubt that your heart rate is too high and will repeat until your heart rate is back to an acceptable value. The only downfall is it doesn't have a minimum heart rate warning but the more I think about it, I realise that I don't really need it myself.
I was able to get a full day out of the watch with the heart rate graphic running. Still don't know why I only got a few hours with the same phone settings and apps running before, so hopefully the problem doesn't come back.
I only bought the watch originally to get a warning when I went tachycardic without having a non watch looking monitor on my wrist or having to wear a chest strap, so was so frustrated until I found heart rate graphic.
