Workout & heart rate

My iWatch5 tracks my heartrate when I do a swim work out but it doesn't measure when I do a walk workout. It doesn't matter if Heard Rate is on or off. How do I get Workout to measure heart rate when I walk?

My Heart Rate was not working in Workout as well. It turned out to be ‘Power Saving Mode’ needed to be turned off in the watch app.

On your iPhone > Watch App > Workout > Power Saving Mode (switch to off). That fixed it for me.
