You have not shared enough information to let anyone give useful advice. It will help if you can say which watch face and complications you are using.


Please also be aware that only the new Apple Watch 12 supports higher refresh of heart rate measurements for near real time display. Your AW 11 will probably monitor at 5 minute intervals and is unlikely to offer true continuous updates.

I am using the standard iOS Health application and 5 minutes rate is fine, but it just stopped working. Therefore I have no data to look at - during the swim in the morning it was working, but during the rest of the day it does not work... For swimming I am using MySwimPro.
