Apple watch hart rate display problems

Hi all

I connect Zwift with my apple watch for heart rate. Unfortunately, it doesn’t works good. Most of the time I have no heart rate or the heart rate comes after 1.5 km or something. What does it need, that zwift shows me the heart rate from the beginnningt?

Does it need write permissions in apple health, that the heart rate will display?

Zwift does not directly support the Apple Watch AFAIK. One must use an extra app to get the Watch to work properly. One app is “ECHO” and I have used it a few times. The procedure is very specific on the connecting procedure and can be a PITA. Really much easier to get a HR chest or arm strap.

They had formal apple watch support on one of the past “this season on Zwift” posts, but unfortunately that was never released. I find my chest strap HR monitor behaves wonkily somedays, and for those days it would be nice to swap over to my watch.
