Why Is My Apple Watch Not Reading My Heart Rate?

Alba Hatcher is a Licensed Bodywork Therapist in the State of Texas and a Nationally Accredited Personal Trainer Specializing in Ortho-Kinetics!
In this video, Alba explains two common reasons as to why your Apple Watch is not reading your heart rate.
When your watch cannot find your heart rate, it will log calories burned equivalent to that of which you would burn during a brisk walk. Not bad, but most of the time we're working out harder than that!
It might not be reading because the sensor itself has gotten too wet. This can happen a lot if you're a sweater. Simply take off your watch and wipe it down. You can also use the water mode feature during your workouts to help catch the sweat!
The other reason your watch might not be reading your heart rate is that your watch is too loose! Tighten it up a notch and see if that helps!
Thanks for watching!!!

I'm sorry madam but you're way off. The Apple Watch has 0 issues with humidity. Look I'm having issues with heart rate measurements with outdoor walking workouts but 0 with swimming workouts, so how much water / humidity makes it behind the Apple Watch is irrelevant. Also, the water eject function is for ejecting water after a shower, after swimming, etc. not for removing sweat.
I have had this heart rate measurement issue with my Apple Watch Series 2 and now with my Apple Watch Series 4 and it's a software glitch that Apple still hasn't addressed.
