Why am I unable to track vascular load ?

[Alien5171]

I just got a Watch 8 Classic, and I've been wearing it to sleep for about 6-7 hours a night for the past 4 days. But it's not recording my vascular load. Am I wearing it wrong, or do I need to turn something on in the app?

@Alien5171 You will just need to wait until the watch gets the data it is looking for. 

Some reasons for not getting the data:

• The watch didn't maintain proper skin contact throughout your sleep
• You moved in your sleep in ways that your watch detected as wakefulness, so your watch didn't get 4 hours of vascular load data.

Or at least those are the responses the watch gives me on the random days when it doesn't provide a reading.

Will check again. Thank u

You have to wait 14 days for baseline to be set. With 3 nights of 4 straight hours of sleep

Understood, thank you.

You are wearing it incorrectly to get accurate readings. It should be sitting just high enough from end of the ulna (bump on wrist pinky side) to ensure direct contact with your skin. It should be tight enough to not move though out the night.

Hope this helps.

Visual reference of where it should sit.

So this is good right !!

Perfect! My cardiologist said almost all people wear them wrong. He said I was the fist person he saw all week that was wearing it properly.
