Can I turn off the heart rate monitor?

[ceejames]

Are you able to turn off the heart rate monitor? Or is it always on?

Cheers!

Hi, @ceejames! Very easy fix, on your tracker, swipe over to settings, scroll down to heart rate, and tap to turn from on to off.

Hi James, 

Have you solved the problem or not . my versa that the sensor is always on for it. I have to charge my versa once a day.

Mine will not turn off either. It’s always on. I tried adjusting my settings with no success. 

[Snelsass13-]

This hasn’t worked for me.

It doesn't work for my versa lite too. The sensor led is still flashing.

I am also looking to turn off the sensor. Has anyone figured out how? The heart rate is turned off on the Versa Lite but the sensor still flashes green. I will return it if the feature to turn off the sensor is not available.

Thank you in advance!

I had to return mine. I got the inspire and love it!

Mine too, it won’t turn off. I don’t have the option on and off in setting on the watch.

I reckon after being bought by Google, they have increased trackers. Don't think we even fully turn off the voice and yet alone heartrate monitor.

It was much better and privacy friendly before November 2019.

Thanks Google! Imagine paying hunders of dollars and enabling them to evade our privacy. Great! Go NSA!

Can't even delete my comment? Amazing.

Can I do this on my tablet

Hi @Tassiana - see best answer, it needs to be done on the watch for a Versa 2 or before, later watches don't have the option.
