My Charge 5 used to accurately calculate resting heart rate until a couple of months ago when it started to be clearly too high. The resting rate displayed is often above the highest recorded BC3F291B-FA76-4C09-9BCD-06C2A77ECEB9.pngovernight rate. In this picture the rate is recorded as 58. Fitbit changed the watch but the problem persists. Clearly there is a fault in the algorithm used to make the calculation. Anyone else had this problem?

Can you remember EXACTLY when this happened? I had this issue Mid to end of September. Just blammo +10 to my normal resting heart rate and yet to go back down.

Sorry can’t remember exactly but I think it was in August. I always suspected that changing the watch was not going to solve the problem which seems to me to be a software malfunction. I have no reason to think that the heart rate is is being recorded incorrectly, the pattern and response to exercise has not altered.
