heart rate spikes

Has anyone else seen spikes like this in their heart rate?  I'm sure my heart isn't actually doing this.  I made sure the Watch band was tight.  Apple support told me to cycle power to the Watch - no difference.  They told me to unpair and then pair - no difference.  They replaced the Watch - no difference.  They never actually acknowledged that this is a problem they have seen before, they just seemed to be offering up solutions that they resort to when they don't know what else to suggest.  I understand that the Watch heart rate algorithm might not work for everyone, but I am surprised that I have not yet found a reference to anyone else having a similar problems.  Others have complained about the accuracy, but they always report the heart rate measurement to be too low, whereas in my case it spikes to a value that is way too high.

Hi

Apple advises that, even under ideal conditions, Apple Watch may not be able to record a reliable heart rate reading every time for everybody.

For the best performance from the heart rate sensor during workouts, Apple suggests that you consider tightening your watch band beforehand and loosening it again afterwards.

Wearing it with the right fit (neither too tight nor too loose, with room for your skin to breathe) should be comfortable, whilst also allowing the sensors to operate properly:

The sensor is also likely to give better results for workouts that involve rhythmic (eg running) rather than irregular (eg boxing) movements. Other issues that can impact sensor performance include skin perfusion and wrist tattoos.

For workouts that involve flexing your wrists, it may help to move your watch a little higher up your arm, away from the flexing joint.

If you continue to experience issues, for more consistent readings, you may wish to consider pairing an external heart rate monitor / Bluetooth chest strap to your watch.

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I had already seen that same information from Apple.  I have tightened the strap as much as I can, so that suggestion doesn't help.  The note about boxing isn't relevant to me, I see the problem all the time when on the elliptical.  My question was for the community - has anyone else seen spikes like this, or is it just something unusual about my heart beat?

I've had a similar issue. I've made sure my watch is fitted correctly, but I do get the random spike in heart rate say from 74 bpm to 166 bpm for a second or two, then right back down to normal. It seems to correspond to a fast movement of my arm... reaching for something, brushing teeth etc.

Thanks KDESLANDES.  Perhaps that is a similar problem, I'm not sure.  At least now I know that at least one other person has had this problem.   My watch was on tight this morning, the glitches were longer than usual, I do the same workout every morning, typically (with few or no glitches) it is around 200 active calories.  This morning it was 254, presumably due to the particularly long (5 minutes) heart rate glitch:

I've got the same problem.  Only started noticing this when downloading SleepMatic recently.  First two nights data was pretty solid at 70 bpm during the night.  Third night?  Abrupt spike from 70 to 115 then down to 70.  I was trying to figure out if this was an apnic episode or not.  Following night, got a drop to 53 bpm then back to 70.  Hmmmmm.  Next night, seeing a drop to 53 before I even went to sleep....when I was watching a movie on TV and would have KNOWN.  Last night?  Spike to 120 at 6 am with the watch strapped snug so it can't move.

I'm pretty **** sure if I was hitting 120 I'd be waking up panting.  Now, I've had an extra heartbeat my entire life, and I'm wondering if what's happening here is a misinterpretation of the data if the extra beat kicks in.

I have had the same issue. My heart rate spikes when I sleep. It says it will go from 60 to 160 bpm if it was getting that high I'm sure I would wake up. One night it said it lasted almost 1 hour and the other night it said 5 minutes. It doesn't happen every night but like two times per week. It was causing some anxiety but I realized if it's happening at night it would be happening during the day. There was a couple times it said my heart rate was 35 during the day. There is no way that's correct maybe if I was in REM sleep but not awake and moving. Maybe I'm just one of those people who won't get a good reading. I almost wondering if me moving around in my sleep. I don't know I was thinking about asking my doctor to let me use a heart monitor for a week to make sure it's not doing that' but I really think it's the watch cuz like I said 160 is a high and I believe it would wake me up and it would happen during the day.

My Heart Rate monitor suddenly mid-year started with random spikes readings for no particular reason. It would be at 72 and then spike for one reading to 166 and then back to the 70’s. This is highly frustrating and leaves me without a reliable HR monitor.

What surprises me is that with all the brilliant Apple software engineers none of them have thought about writing a couple of lines of code to validate the reading before displaying it. If the last two readings were in the 70’s and then the next reading is is 166, surely they should suppress the reading random spike and check again. If it drops back to the previous range then ignore the spike. If it stays up in that range then continue to record it. My world of process control would encounter catastrophic failures if every time a sporadic reading from a sensor came through. We would have airplanes crashing and power plants causing huge disasters if every reading was taken as the gospel and not validated before accepting it as a true value.

Please Apple Engineers, take note and add a few lines of code to suppress random readings so I can continue to use my Apple Watch as a true HR monitor.
