Just noticed there's an update available.
Changes made from version 2.40 to 2.50:
Addressed issue which can cause wrist heart rate to remain on a fixed value.

Oddly enough mine did the same. After an hour or so, mine went back to the 71/72 reading when I accessed the widget. I hope you have different results.
Open an activity, go to menu, settings, system, then about. Scroll through that and it will show you what WHR you currently are on. If you are on 2.50, maybe you just need to reset your watch to bring everything back to normal.

When I updated to 2.41 it shot up to 120 or so the first time I accessed it and then drifted down, then every other time I accessed it would read 71. And I spoke too soon. Accessed the widget when I read your post and it read 72, but to be fair it went down to 50 fairly quickly. I accessed again about 10 seconds after it timed out and it was reading 48. Previously it would be reading 72 again. 15 seconds later and its reading 45. It also seems to be fluctuating more often than it used two when looking at the widget - going up or down by 1 or 2 bpm when looking at the display which it never did before. Rose up to 49 when looking at it and typing at the same time. So it appears that after a certain length of time it will default back to 72 and then drift down a bit quicker than it used too. Its a step in the right direction.
Thank you. I did a reset. It worked. But, after it synced again, went back to stuck on 66 and 2 resets later- no change.. On the about page- shows 3.30 nothing about the HR software is mentioned
