Heart Rate Stats when not wearing tracker

[dinaree]

Discovered something interesting tonight. Took my Blaze off the charger and found it was reading my heart rate (104 bmp) and the tracker wasn't even on my wrist.

Glitch? Anyone else have this happen?

Yes - and I must say most disconcerting.  Zombie heart rate would be my bet guess LOL.  I called support and they are replacing my Fitbit for that issue and two other issues.

Looks like I'll be contacting support as well.

I've noticed that when I take the Blaze off, it displays the last known HR that was measured. Then after I Sync the app has no HR reading for this period of time. I guess it thinks I died.

That's interesting. I do see on my graph that there is a point where there's no heart rate stats so despite the screen showing my HR fluctuating, it seems the stats weren't logged.

I have had two separate graph results, when I take it off to measure my blood pressure which is done 3 to 4 times per day (old fogie at this end), there is either a dotted line and this huge increase from when the dotted line ends and picks up again.  Example, take it off, HR is at 65, dotted line, picks back up at 135.  The Omron meter that I use has just measured my HR at a whopping 67, so 135, I think not, since the 67 was just seconds ago.  The other scenario is the HR monitor does not stop working, just keeps chugging along, Blaze is off, heart rate is going up, up, up....either I am virtually exercising my tush off, or I am one very active zombie.   Measure my BP, HR from Omron meter is 65, put the Blaze back on right after the BP measurement and....my HR was 105.....like I said one very active zombie.  I have calibrated the Omron with my Physcians equipment, which included the HR and BP measurements, the Omron is accurate, Blaze, well....the jury is out yet.

I got a Fitbit blaze about six months ago and noticed the heart rate is still tracking when I’m not wearing it. Strangely going up quite high over 100bpm sometimes, whilst not being worn. Anyone know how to fix it? Tried restarting it and resyncing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

@TaylorT64 I would check the settings for the heart rate, when the Blaze off taken off the arm the heart rate and it's lights should be turning off.

If they don't I would try a restart of the blaze

Thank you this seems to be working now
