Hi,

I've had my Blaze some time now, but I've noticed recently that when I take it off (usually at night) that it still records a heart rate which can vary wildly.

I've tried shutting it down and restarting it, but this hasn't helped.

Is there something in settings I can change?

 

Thanks 

Tony

Hey there @TonyH2! Good to see you in the Fitbit Community Forums! 🙂

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with the heart rate on your Blaze being recorded even when you're not wearing it. I'd like to help you out with this.

You can indeed control this on the settings. If you swipe to the last screen on your Blaze, you will be able to access the settings. Once you're here, scroll down until you find the Heart Rate monitor option. If it's set to On, you can change it to Auto and this way, the heart rate monitor will only work when you have it on and if you take it off, it will stop registering.

Hope this helps and if you need more help, let me know!
