So I'm enjoying using the new watch 4 but it had a major flaw with the new OS. As a guy with tattoos on both arms I've always had to turn off wrist detection to make sure I get notifications but there isn't the option to do this. Samsung really need to fix this or they risk alienating a lot of users
Optical heart rate sensors need to pulse light through your skin and "see your blood" in order measure your heart rate. They can't see through heavy ink
I have the same problem So l have watch under The wrist where no tattoo
I have full sleeves so I don't have that as an option. I put it on the wrist with less ink though so I can still use the sensor but might have to move the watch round a little bit. Still that isn't as easy with notifications and on the old tizen watches you could allow notifications to come though even when it wasn't on your wrist. Currently I can't rely on the watch to pull them through every time.
I have the same problem. Samsung totally failed with this watch. I was using Samsung only but seems, Im going to change this. Big disappointment.... Money spent for nothing!
