Using Virtual Run to connect watch to iPhone for Trainer road sessions. Was working brilliant until the 16.17 update. Now the watch registers my heart rate in the sub 100 bpm range. I used my Polar Sense for recent workout and watch displayed 85 bpm while paired iPhone showed 180 from the Polar device.
So could be a general issue or one tied to virtual run. I've tried rebooting watch. I can do factory reset if that's the recommendation. Would prefer rolling back the 16.17 update if that's an option.
When I do other activities like strength or run the watch hr seems to work correctly. I'm bummed because the missed hr information is screwing up the training readiness, effectiveness, and activity metrics. These things are one of the reasons why I bought the watch over an ultra.
Please help!
