Does the moto 360 come with its own app or any way to continuously monitor heart rate? Or does it just give you a single reading which is entirely useless?
Haven't quite figured out how it polls, but it has a tracker for minutes of activity that seems to register if I do something strenuous. Not sure about heart rate...
I think it measures heart rate every 5 minutes or so. There is another app mentioned on android police that constantly monitors it but I haven't tried it.

I've been using it often because I think I am experiencing the early stages of high blood pressure so I'm keeping track of my heart rate. It appears to monitor it when you run it but it seems to poll every 5-10 seconds until you close the app.

Is there a way to keep the watch on when monitoring HR. I know it will kill the battery but its just for my workout, and when the screen times out you have to restart the HR app.
Also anyone find an app to see HR on the phone that's measured on the watch? its nice to have the phone sitting on the magazine rack of the treadmill.
The new Xiaomi Mi Band 1S with heart rate monitor has released recently, just found a quick review for this new Mi Band from Youtube, the heart rate monitor seems good. And the charging cable also has some changes. Is it worth buying, if you have the old version, will you order this new one?
Special offer for this Mi Band 1S from reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/3shjct/1999_offer_for_xiaomi_mi_band_1s/
will it work with app like runkepeer?

it doesn't show on the video, but I remember the old version can sync data to google fit.
Hi everyone,
I've been using my GWA2 (SM-R820) for about a day and a half and I've noticed, both in the SHealth app on the phone and on the watch that it monitors my heart rate every hour or so instead of every ten minutes I've set it to. I've also found this thread in the Samsung forums where other users complain about this. Is there any known workaround, as people from the forum above say that this started with a late November update?
I also noticed that there is not heart rate info on my auto-tracked walks in Samsung Health. I thought that during an exercise (auto-tracked or not) heart monitoring is supposed to be continuous. Nevertheless, what I get is just a speed graph with no heart rate data at all. Is this normal?
Go to hrm in you watch, scroll down and select measure continuously

Hi all,
I've been having this issue with the watch since day one.
The watch is connected to an iPhone.
The heart rate monitor is way too high in a lot of cases, for instance when I sit down and watch TV it's around 55-60 and then peaks to ~150 with no apparent reason as you can seen in the attached photo.
It's not my first smartwatch and I have never had this problem before.
I send it to huawei's labs for inspection and they said it's working fine and it might be issue with the over sensitive sensor and the fact it is connected to an iPhone and not their phone.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks,
Ishay
No such issues with my GT2 connected to Android phone.
It sometimes happens that when I put a watch on (it was off my hand for a while and I put it back on) it spikes to high bpm value (i.e. 110 or so), but quickly reduces to normal. During resting/sitting period, bpm remains constantly low, without spikes that you mention.

I've never had such issue on pair with mate 30 pro, but on high rates (over 186) suddenly drop to about 135 (1/3 less).
I have an opposite effect but only during training. The watch shows on average 20-30bpm less than my previous 2 smart bands. I've read there should be an improvement with the firmware version 1.0.3.62 but I'm stuck on 1.0.2.60.
I had exact same problems..this morning when I was doing elliptical,the hr went up suddenly 188 and said limit exceeded .once I stopped the tracking it came back to normal , insee this problem after I had set the Huawei mobile service region to China to buy few watch faces..
I finally got 1.0.3.62 update so I'll report back in a few days if the HR has improved.
Hi all,
"happy" to read that I'm not the only one with this issue:
Doing elliptical, raises to 160, LED on back is not flickering but steady on. Stop moving, drops down to 96 (fe). Real rate (according Samsung watch on other arm is 96. Moving again and up to 160..
Started with latest firmware update.. what **** is this...
Exact same problem, with last firmware update, when doing elliptical, heart rate is reportef between 20-40 bpm above what the machine is reading, tried with a camera app and it read the same value as the machine and to make sure trackef my pulse and all were the same but the gt2. My phone is a mate 20 lite. Definitely happenef with the latest firmware. Was ok with the two firmwares before.
I have 1.0.3.62.
the clock stuck to 109bpm. i took it out, i put it on again it showed 75bpm for a while then 109bpm again. To say that I sat for so long. i opened the app and as long as it was stuck there is a gap !!! Last clue at the app 109bpm. The clock shows "normally" that stuck for a while constantly.
With 1.0.2.68 i had no problem!!!
Drastic drop
Mine too. Is it hardware or software?
I have exactly the same issue. Driving along and it will suddenly spike up to 170+ occasionally. Same thing happened the other day walking to the shop peaked to 190+...
Although we could all just be really ill??
I did not experience that issue but the opposite - during workout, the highest HR is usually not as high as it should be, sometimes even 20bpm lower (compared to Polar OH1).
I am facing the same problems. Reading jumps from 55 to 120! When I check against another machine I can see I have 60 and the watch is showing 110! This started after I used it for indoor elliptical and sensor went nuts with wrong readings. Never had that problem before. I will try a factory reset and if not fixed send it back (I have had it for about 5 weeks 24-7)
My brand new HONOR MAGIC WATCH 2 doesn't track heart rate on my wrist, however on my Palm, its tracks properly. Shall I return or is it software issue or hardware?
I have a different problem. My GT2 elegant detects puls and stress levels while I'm not wearin it...Of course it happened after one of latest updates...
Don't know how to fix this and it annoys me alot
Yes I've had the same problem. It's connected to a Huawei phone so not sure why this is happening. Did you manage to solve the problem? I might return mine since it's less than 2 weeks since I received it.
I have similar issue... When starting a workout, even if I'm not walking or doing something the heart rate zones shows "extreme" with 70-80 bpm... Anyone knows a fix?
Hi guys! I don't have a GT2 but GT2e instead, with the latest 1.0.6.20 firmware, and might be a heart rate issue here too. When I bought it, I compared with my Honor Magic Watch (which were replaced because the battery draining very quickly, it lasts now for only 2 days), and the GT2e showed higher heart rate, +10-20 bpm. This weekend, the GT2e showed many times seriously high heart rate, example: during sleep, under2 minutes ramped up quickly to 136 bpm , and then back to 60-70. Today in 5 minutes ramped up from 93 to 149, then back to 121, and I immediately started to check my pulse by counting it manually, and it was between 80 and 90, but the watch still showed 110 bpm. I haven't even do any exercising during that time. I was at the doctor a week ago, ECG and heart rhythm checking, nothing unusual was found, later that day I bought the GT2e.
Could it be possible that those high heart rates measured by the watch are "false alarms"?
I watched video reviews from this watch before buying it, especially about the heart rate accuracy compared to expensive smart watches, and the previous gen. Watch GT, and everyone said that the sensors accuracy is very high, and I'm a bit scared now...

Try to set heart rate tracking to non-stop and not smart. When I did that it works ok. When it is set to smart it measures in 10 minutes interval. So it is written but I think the watch turns on also when you move and then measures your heart beat. When it does that you get high peaks which I think it is the problem in software because friend of mine has GT2 set to smart and there is no peaks.
This may seem too obvious but think about it. Turning on show refresh rate option shows you a continuously changing refresh rate 10-24-30-60-120 Hz . LTPO can bring down the refresh rate to 10Hz but that constant switching between refresh rates may be adding flickers not consciously noticeable but may have an effect on the eyes in long term ?
This is to save the battery but can eyes adapt to a such a high degree of variable refresh rate ? Does anyone know the PWM frequency of Vivo X80 Pro LTPO 3.0 ? I did check with a slo-mo camera and it does show flicker (black lines moving across the screen). Honor 4 Pro is claiming a LTPO screen with highest ever PWM frequency for eliminating flicker. Any insight into this will be much appreciated.

Honor has 1920PWM if i remember correctly, idk how much the vivo has.
But i'll break you a myth, the LTPO does NOT improve performance unless you maybe watching YouTube all day and even so.
So far all the smartphones that has poor battery life, including the x80 Pro, has LTPO.
Based on my use, i just use the 120hz and it goes down to 10hz when possible, coming from the Mate 40 Pro which has 60 or 90 only with no LTPO, the Mate 40 Pro had better battery life.
They is no eye strain with either of them if you sit in the proper angle, i haven't noticed anything anyway.

Thanks for replying. Firstly Congratulations for your ROG6 phone . LTPO may be saving a little bit of battery but there are many other factors especially SD Gen 1.
But I am worried about LTPO's constantly varying refresh rate. In my 2 months of usage of X80 Pro I had two or three episodes of headache which may be very well be coincidental due to other factors. It did prompt me to research more on PWM frequency of X80 pro and what effect does LTPO have on eyes.

That's a good point that no reviewer actually checked or researched.
I had the X80 pro for a month and never had any headache, you might be sensitive to certain PWM frequency.
If you can check the Honor Magic 4 Pro you might deny or confirm that.

I have no way to check magic 4. Also , I did not find a way to force 60 or 120 Hz on X80 pro. Tried adb command and SetEdit. At least locking it to 60Hz minimum will be good enough even though it defeats the purpose of LTPO.
Does anyone know how to do that ?

It should be under the display settings>refresh rate.
Don't choose Auto, choose 120hz, and it will be 120hz all the time unless there is no motion on the screen.

Choosing a refresh rate in settings just sets the maximum refresh rate. I would like it to be at least 60Hz at all times which happens in all non-LTPO phones .

If you trigger the "show refresh rate" at the developer menu, you'll see it drops from 120hz to 10hz quite often.
Even if you'll force 60hz it will drop to 10hz, that's just how it works.
I don't think you can put a threshold of 60hz as minimum as opposed to 10hz.

Right. That's how LTPO works but in other phones , it will stay at 60Hz even if it is static picture. The flicker at 10Hz could be more than 60Hz unless the PWM frequency is high enough. Am I getting it right ?

Indeed.
But Vivo hasn't published information about the PWM frequency, so we're in the dark for now.
There is a new Notebookcheck analysis of X80 pro, but the frequency is pretty low

In our review, the Vivo X80 attempts to impress with a quad camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, ample storage, fast charging and probably the largest, fastest and most versatile fingerprint sensor.

I am on W30 funtouch OS 12.0.12.12 and I noticed that Show Refresh Rate is now showing 120 Hz all the time if 120 Hz is selected in settings. Even Youtube is at 120 Hz which is great. Even in Smart switch mode the refresh rate only toggles between 60 Hz and 120 Hz . In essence LTPO has stopped working and I did not notice battery drainage as such so I am happy also due to concerns on LTPO safety on eyes and the phone feels fast irrespective of whether an app supports 120 Hz or not
