I have turned on training tennis on my Fitbit Ionic watch while playing badminton.
In the Android Fitbit app, my heart rate during this period is shown both under Exercise and under Heart Rate. Under exercise Tennis the maximal heart rate is 197 bpm, while the largest peak shown under Heart Rate is 184 bpm.
Why do they show different heart rates? Is one of them wrong or is the heart rate under Exercise averaged over a shorter period?
Moderator edit: Subject for clarity

I don't think this has anything to do with installation issues. After posting this, I saw an earlier discussion in a Fitbit forum about this subject, also attributing it to scale differences. It would be nice if you could zoom-in the heart rate data, so you can see it in more detail. Also, displaying the minimal and maximal heart rate, of for example a day, would be interesting.
