[Watch] Instant HR on new firmware 2.0.40 (spartan)

[Junior Saimala]

Im owning a spartan sport wrist hr and have just updated to 2.0.40 recently. On my instant HR display(swipe down from the watch face), it always show 72bpm for some minute(usualy 3-5 mins) before it really start to show my real heart rate? Is it a bug ? Or any purpose on this issue?

[SlaSh]

Yes it is bug

[oeagleo]

I noticed this, but thought that it was just the WHR waiting to get a solid signal. Hmmm

[SlaSh]

@oeagleo seems HR sensor resets itself to 72 as starting point. I have scosche rhythm which utilize valancell sensor as well and it acts the same until hr is locked it shows 72.

Same here, bug or are we all robots with same fw?

[SlaSh]

@suzzlo bug which wasn’t present with 10min graph in old FW.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Definitely, a bug and I think it’s confirmed. After a few seconds it should be ok

[sartoric]

well … about the 10 min graph …

[SlaSh]

@sartoric don’t put salt, we know where we left last time

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@slash point taken

[jaguarana]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos same here. Sometimes it needs over a minute. Definitly a bug.

Yeah not much faith in the instant HR. Shows 72 or doesn’t change if I increase activity. Stays the same until it times out and goes back to the main watch face. WHR seems to be fine during runs/excerise. Actually better than before the update. Any news on a bug fix? Or maybe I should try and reinstall the update, maybe that would fix it?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot what is the WHR version on your wathc ?

[Barfoot]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos its a Sport Wrist Hr All Black. Or do you mean the Valencell version?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot VAllencel version

[Barfoot]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos Valencellsays 6571 in the settings. Am I looking in the right spot?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@barfoot yup that is the latest.

[Ze Stuart]

This still seems to be a bit buggy in .42, Valancell 6571.

Observed: swipe to instant HR, a number is displayed. This number is usually static, then reverts to the 72 number.

Expected: dynamic number reflecting HR.

Bug, or are my expectations incorrect?

[SlaSh]

@ze-stuart static number is last your hr, 72 number is starting point before hr lock and this should go away as misleading customers
