My heart rate is showing on my tracker but it is not showing when I go into fat burn or cardio 

even though it shows on my app. Any idea why not ?

Thanks for stopping by @Dodoo33I'd like to start saying that your tracker can have difficulty finding a signal, typically due to the tracker's fit. For example, wearing your band tightly may constrict blood flow in your wrist and affect the signal. We recommend experimenting with how high you place the tracker on your wrist. When you're not exercising, wearing the tracker just above the wrist bone--as you would a watch--typically works fine. However, moving the tracker up a couple inches can be helpful during high-intensity exercises or exercises that cause you to bend your wrist frequently. If you haven't already done so, please review our recommendations for wear and other tips shared by @SantiFitbit

If you're wearing the tracker correctly and the heart rate setting isn't turned off, try changing the setting (either Auto to On or On to Auto) and then syncing your tracker. The change won't take affect until you sync. If heart rate still doesn't appear after the sync, try restarting your tracker 3 times in a row and wait at least 60 seconds before checking heart rate again. Also, make sure that your Fitbit app is up-to-dateWoman Wink

 

If you're still unable to see your heart rate on the display, please let me know if you can see the green lights flashing on the bottom of your tracker.

Thanks for jumping on this thread @GershonSurge! What do you mean my friend? 

 

Keep in mind guys that Instead of using the three default zones you can create a custom zone if you're targeting a specific heart rate. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon and find Heart Rate Zones. Then enter your custom zone.

On fitbit.com, log into your dashboard and click the gear icon in the upper right. Choose Settings > Personal Info. There you can enter your custom zone.

 

Check this post of mine about some placement tips.

 

Catch ya later!

Thanks for jumping up here @rashmi_agrawal and trying what I suggested! Note that Peak zonemeans your heart rate is greater than 85% of maximum, is the high-intensity exercise zone. The peak zone is for short intense sessions that improve performance and speed. And you should see this heart rate icon:

And Fat burn zone, which means your heart rate is 50 to 69% of maximum, is the low-to-medium intensity exercise zone and may be a good place to start for those new to exercise. It’s called the fat burn zone because a higher percentage of calories are burned from fat, but the total calorie burn rate is lower.

Have you checked if you're getting these zones on your app? Let me know if you're not getting your readings in your tracker but on the app. Since when you started noticing this? Have you tried something else besides of what has been posted here?

Hey there @Vslskihepp, thanks for stopping by! Hmmm... this is very strange my friend, but what would recommend in this case is to restart your tracker 3 times in a row by following these steps.

 

Give this a shot and let me know if your heart rate zones are back! Woman Wink
