apple-watchwatchos
Yesterday I updated my Apple Watch to watchOS 5.2.1 and ever since my Heart Rate complication has stopped displaying my heart rate on the watch face. I can still tap it and measure my heart rate, but it’s not displayed on the watch face.
Is this a new 'feature' of watchOS? If not, how do I fix it?
If the watches are different, and the phones are different, then the only thing that appears to remain the same is you.
You don't mention, but have you ruled out the possibility of there being anything about you? For instance, I remember reading that tattoos could prevent the heart monitor obtaining a clear reading, and there was some talk about people with very black skin also having difficulties.

The other possibility is whether there is something with the tightness with which you wear it?
I believe you are referring to the Music complication. Which is separated from the Now Playing in watchOS 4.
The solution is to use a dedicated Now Playing from now on. It can be also set as a complication which would allow easy access:

3. Finally, if this doesn’t resolve it, fully reboot your Apple Watch.
