I wonder if anyone has this same problem.  I normally wear the Charge 5 on the underside of my wrist.  It tracks my heart rate well enough.  When I exercise, I turn it over so that the display is over my wrist.  It seems to be hit or miss.  many times it won't track my heart rate, and thus my zone minutes.  I tried to tighten the belt, but it doesn't seem to do anything except make my wrist uncomfortable.  Any thoughts?

Make sure to wear your Charge 5 two fingers wide above your wrist bone.
