Charge 5 is inaccurate when tracking activity

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I use the Charge 5 for a week now. As it's my first tracking gadget, I'm happy with it so far.

 

But how can I get more reliable data?

F.ex. I went by bicycle today to the next town and back. Started the tracking device, paused when I got there and started again before going back home. At home I finished the tracking.

In the app I just see the first half of the ride (distance), but the whole time data.

What went wrong?

 

Second issue: I attend a Zumba class twice a week. Yesterday I tried to track this by starting interval training (don't know if this is the right word in English), but the tracker just tracked maybe half the time or so.

Today I let the automatic tracking do its job, but it tracked some bicycle riding...

How can I tell the device to switch to the correct activity (maybe its like aerobic)?

Now all the calorie counts are wrong.

 

Hope you understand what I mean 🙂
