Is anyone else noticing an inaccurate resting HR reading after the recent update? It seems to be doubling my resting HR. I am a runner and my resting HR is typically between 45 and 60 BPM. Ever since the update, it's been going up to 100 to 120 BPM when I'm sitting still and I know for a fact that it isn't that high. I confirmed by taking my pulse manually. Oddly, my runs have been fine. And HR tracking has seemed normal.

I have noticed that if I take the watch completely off for 30 seconds or so and then put it bskc in, it will read regularly for several minutes but then it spikes back up. It also corrects itself if I toggle from continuous to manual reading and then back to continuous. Just curious if anyone else is having this issue after the update.

Mine was stable for about 4 hours on 15 Feb. Today it showed double all morning. Very frustrating.  Trying to log a call for this … but impossible from S A.

I think I'm done with Samsung watches for a while. I have a Garmin Venu 2 Plus coming today. I'm going to see if I like it. This simply should not be happening.
