Blaze resting Heart Rate records till mid-morning then...

My iOS Blaze Resting HR used to work perfectly.  Recently, the Today graph stops recording at about 10AM  Much later in the evening it displays the rest of the day.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Maybe I can adjust a setting someplace?  Or is a glitch?

It's great to see you around @Sandy_ and weird to hear that your heart rate is not being recorded 100%. I recommend restarting your Blaze. After the restart process, I recommend verifying that you are following these tips to improve this information:

 

  1. Experiment with wearing the tracker higher on your wrist during exercise. Because blood flow in your arm increases the farther up you go, moving the tracker up a couple inches can improve the heart rate signal. Also, many exercises such as push-ups cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which is more likely to interfere with the heart rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.

  2. Do not wear your tracker too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart rate signal. That being said, the tracker should also be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise than during all-day wear.
  3. With high-intensity interval training, P90X, boxing, or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may prevent the sensor from finding an accurate heart rate. Similarly, with exercises such as weight lifting or rowing, your wrist muscles may flex in such a way that the band tightens and loosens during exercise. Try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly (about 10 seconds), after which you should see an accurate heart rate reading. Note that your tracker will still provide accurate calorie burn readings during these types of exercise by analyzing your heart rate trends over the course of the workout.

 

I hope this helps, happy stepping. Woman Happy

Yes I've been noticing this on my Blaze too, as well as wonky resting heart rate information.

One time it says resting HR is 70 a hour later it's decided it's 74. I thought resting hear rate was took to be first thing in the morning before you get out of bed?

And yes, I've done the restart several times.
