Blaze heart rate stops during workouts

[blueavacado]

When I workout cardio or weights, my Blaze stops monitoring my heart rate correctly. The heart rate will either be really inaccurate and much lower than my heart rate actually is, or it will stop working all together.

Help!

It's great to see you here @blueavacado.

If you are experiencing issues with your heart rate information, I recommend taking a look at this post, where you will be able to see some things that might be affecting this reading and some tips to improve it.

I hope this helps, let me know the outcome.

Good morning,

   Unfortunately none of the suggestions have worked- I’ve tried everything! I continue to get inaccurate readings when I work out. My fitbit continues to either show my heartrate as much lower than it really is, or not read it at all- whether I’m on the eliptical, the treadmill, or doing weights.

I've tried all the suggestions I've read - moving it to a different location on my wrist, loosening, tightening, etc., and my Blaze HR monitor reads 80-90 bpm when it's really 140 - 150.  There's no questioning the real reading, and I'm not going to waste time explaining how I've verified it.  The Blaze reading seems to ignore any heart rate not produced by something using steps.  My only real option is to take accurate readings periodically and ignore the Blaze claims that I've had 0 minutes of activity (yes, another inaccuracy) when I've been sweating in the gym for 45 minutes.
