Body composition won't load past 67%

[DakotaDad]

I'm having many problems with the watch 6 Classic. I can never get past 67% when trying to take my body composition. It always stops there and gives me all sorts of reasons, like don't touch anything but the button or try wetting your fingers ,or raise your arms ,or,or,or........ While I'm at it samsung health used to announce current and average speed ( current speed 3.9 mph, average speed 4.0). It now only announces step count. Please bring back current and average speed. Thanks. I never had a problem on my watch classic 4 getting  my body comp. I hope it is a software problem and not physical.

I was told that I didn't have a repair option because there was nothing wrong with the watch, it was the software. 🤷🏽
"Move it higher on your arm" "Move it lower on your arm" "Don't let your hands touch" "Use moisturizer" "Hold your arms away from your body" "Stay still" "Pop open a beer and stop trying to get this app to work".

It's worked twice now stops at 67 every time, noting is touching like its telling me

I have tried everything that has been posted, and body composition will not go past 67%. Samsung really need to fix this.

I had the same problem,  what I did was set my height but left the weight,  after I had my first reading I adjusted my weight to my weight and it worked fine , hope this works for you 👍

this worked for me, so I would guess there is a bug in the SW for the initial calibration measurement  - it is likely set to a generic weight and if you change that, the system has a wobbly - but the steps for subsequent measurements are slightly different, so likely this uses a variation of the SW so it allows weight recalibration.

Again the same. Today I've tried over 40 times to measure body composition on watch 4 classic - it stops at 67-68% and rarely goes to 99% where it crashes. Feedback messages are irrelevant just like those above. The problem is back after few months when it worked (in first few attempts, but eventually worked) each day. I've restarted the watch, cleaned my arm, moisturized fingers, switched off training autodetection and all of the methods above - nothing works!

Samsung doesn't often fix existing problems with their updates, and Body Composition is no exception. I own the Galaxy 6; it's been sitting in the drawer for months. Unless I can pause whatever I'm doing to charge it every 8 hours, it doesn't even serve as a dependable timepiece.

Off topic for the original post, and I don't mean to hijack, but I have a theory that the update to Android 14/OneUI6.0 killed battery life on the GW4, 5 & 6.  I think the watches have to utilize more battery power to work with the new OS.  My Watch 4 was working perfectly and had a good 32 hours of battery life right up until the moment I connected it to my A54, which came with Android 14.  After that, I could barely eke out 12 hours.  The only explanation would be that the newer operating system requires more energy output from the watch to handle the mutual features. The strain finally made the battery defective, so I had to upgrade to the Watch 7, which works perfectly fine and I'm back to 36 hours of life.

Most of what you are all describing is due to the sensors not ready your fingers properly. Lick your fingers and try again.

Let me know if that worked.

*I have the issue myself and that works every time
