My device is a Charge 5 and my workouts are HIIT. I use cuff weights on my wrists. My weights start with weighted gloves and progress up my forearms nearly to my elbow. When I begin a workout, things progress nicely through warm up. As moves intensify, I suspect a weight puts pressure on my Charge 5 and it pauses tracking my workout. After finishing a 40-minute session, I will review my progress and may find a workout time of 9:19 or 12:37. I don’t want to stop mid-workout to re-start my Charge 5. I tried wearing my Charge 5 nearer my elbow to avoid the weights. I tried using sweat bands to create a dam to prevent the pressure of the weights on my Charge 5. I tried covering my Charge 5 with a heavy sweat band. I tried moving my Charge 5 to my bra. None of these work-arounds gave me success. My goal was to have my Charge 5 support my workout rather than to modify my workout to support the Charge 5. I called support, they had no suggestions I had not already pursued.
I welcome any suggestions other users have.
