I have been experiencing an intermittent issue with AZM being tracked while riding in a car.  This morning, while I was riding in a car, my Fitbit tracked 30 minutes of AZM.  The only thing I can think of is that my Fitbit needed to be charged, as it was down to 17%.  Has anyone else noticed this?

AZM is all based on heart rate.  Look at your heart rate during time of the car ride.  If it was elevated, Fitbit can't distinguish why.  So do you think it was getting bad readings, or were you particularly excited, scared, nervous causing your heart rate to be high?

You might even want to use the Exercise App to track a fake workout while on car ride to make it easier to look at heart rate during that time afterward.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

I’m continuing to have this issue intermittently while riding in a car…not every time.  I’ve actually been observing my heart rate in the car through another app that shows a real time normal heart rate, while the Fitbit’s rate is elevated.  And, no, I haven’t been scared or nervous; the Fitbit is giving bad readings.
