I'm having many problems with the watch 6 Classic. I can never get past 67% when trying to take my body composition. It always stops there and gives me all sorts of reasons, like don't touch anything but the button or try wetting your fingers ,or raise your arms ,or,or,or........ While I'm at it samsung health used to announce current and average speed ( current speed 3.9 mph, average speed 4.0). It now only announces step count. Please bring back current and average speed. Thanks. I never had a problem on my watch classic 4 getting  my body comp. I hope it is a software problem and not physical.

Thank you, Members_MztF6G, This worked for me:

I have the 6 classic with a metal strap.  I have hairy arms and wear the watch on the right (my dominant hand, go figure).  And this was going my head in, I just couldn't get past 67%.

It's quite difficult to apply minimal pressure while keeping your arms up, the watch hand

Total junk, body composition doesn't work no matter how I try, it gives error message. Blood oxygen says I'm at under 80% oxygen (which is a health emergency) everyday for a few times. Blood pressure app needs to be calibrated  every month with a blood pressure machine, if I had a blood pressure machine at home why would I need this watch. Totally useless piece of junk. Not worth the money. performs the functions that $50 watch can do. Super disappointed with Samsung

I was having an issue with my Galaxy watch 5 where it would constantly fail at 67% and what I did is I flipped the watch upside down So that it would be on the bottom part of my wrist where there's no hair and when I did that it immediately worked. Try that.

I had same problem every single time. I cleaned the sensors and still no luck. I finally moistened my skin where the watch was sitting and that worked. I do have a lot of hair on my arms so the only other thing I could think was to shave where the watch sat. LOL

It used to work. Now I have the same problem. You would think SQA would exist at Samsung.

WOW, so I am not the only one that can only get to 67% when trying to measure body comp. Seems like there is definitely an issue that needs to be fixed. If you are going to offer this feature then it should work (good or bad). I was so frustrated and about to through this thing across the room until I found this thread. 

Thank you for allowing me to keep my sanity.

I have the same problem. I was considering upgrading to 6 but since I see that version 6 watch has the same problem. I guess it's not worth it Samsung, Please push a fix for Composition problem that It's been plaguing us all for a long time. It's strange that everyone's results fail at sixty seven percent.
