Always active heart rate

Javy Nájera
over 4 years ago

Hi.
I have a vivoactive 4 and I am encountering the following problem.
I only want my heart rate to be measured when I enter into an activity, NOT throughout the day.
If I go to the "Wrist heart rate" setting and turn on automatic measurement, the watch is continuously measuring.
I can't find a way for me to only measure during activity.
I always have to remember, before any activity, to enter the "Wrist heart rate" setting, activate, and then start the activity.
Any solution?
Greetings and thank you.

    Hello! We currently do not have a feature that can allow the OHR to turn on only for activities. However, I will add you to a current feature request we have on this. There is no guarantee that this change will be implemented, but we do hear you and always appreciate user feedback on how we can improve our products and your customer experience.

    Thank you very much. It would be great if this option is implemented for the frequency meter, to have the option to activate it only for activities. The battery consumption would be reduced and having a sensor working 24 hours a day without need, will be pleasant for the useful life of the watch.
    A greeting.
