Log Elliptical workout and other forearm movement exercise on Charge 5

[Over65]

Forearm movement causes sometimes massively inaccurate HR readings during specific exercise. I want to use Fitbit Dashb to track HR: supporting manual exercise HR input would be great! E.g., w/Charge5 in correct position, HR shown at 88-93 BPM whereas carotid and brachial was 156 BPM. Also for correct HR for calorie.

Wait!  I see you've already given us something similar to this capability by allowing us to log activities manually.  It's nearly the same as calibrating and/or manually entering Heart Rate.  So sorry I didn't see this earlier.  Fitbit has surely thought of most everything -- this is great!  I'll log my elliptical workouts manually from now on and let the system figure out calories.  I'm somewhat new to Fitbit and still discovering all the allowed options.  Many thanks.
