How to Check Heart Rate on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

The Galaxy Watch 4 tracks heart rate continuously using the optical sensor on the watch back.

On-Demand Heart Rate Check

Quick Measurement: From watch face, swipe right to tiles, find the Heart rate tile, and tap it. The watch measures for 10-15 seconds and displays your BPM (beats per minute).
Through Samsung Health: Open Samsung Health app, tap the Heart rate card, then tap Measure. Wait 10-15 seconds and view your result with heart rate zones.

Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring

Enable Auto-Tracking: Open Samsung Health app Settings Heart rate Enable "Continuous" measurement. The watch now tracks heart rate all day.
Battery Impact: Continuous monitoring uses 5-8% extra battery daily.
When to Disable: To save battery, enable only during workouts, or switch to "manual" for occasional checks.

Understanding Heart Rate Zones

Resting: 40-60 BPM (sleeping/relaxing)
Fat Burn: 50-70% of max HR
Cardio: 70-85% of max HR
Peak: 85-95% of max HR
Maximum: 220 minus your age (estimated)

During workouts, Samsung Health shows your current zone so you can track intensity and optimize training effectiveness.

Viewing Heart Rate History

On Watch: Open Samsung Health Heart rate to view today's heart rate graph with highs, lows, and current reading.
On Phone (Detailed): Open Samsung Health app Heart rate for daily, weekly, and monthly graphs showing resting heart rate trends, average heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV).

Heart Rate Accuracy

For Best Accuracy: Wear the watch snug (not too tight), position on top of wrist, clean sensor regularly, avoid tattoos covering sensor, and stay still during measurement.
Accuracy Expectations: Generally accurate within ±5 BPM, best during rest, may vary during intense movement. Note this is not a medical-grade device.

Troubleshooting

Heart Rate Won't Measure: Clean sensor on watch back, wear watch tighter (snug fit), ensure sensor is touching skin, dry both skin and sensor if wet, and avoid wrist tattoos if possible.
Inaccurate Readings: Stay still during measurement, warm up wrist (cold affects accuracy), ensure good skin contact, and try repositioning the watch.

Quick Reference

Check heart rate by swiping to the Heart rate tile from watch face and tapping - measurement takes 10-15 seconds. Enable continuous monitoring via Samsung Health Settings Heart rate Continuous (uses extra battery). View history in the Samsung Health app on phone for detailed trends, resting HR, and heart rate variability analysis.
