Want: alerts when heart rate zone changes

[michaelstl]

I would like my Charge 5 to vibrate when my heart rate changes from one Heart Rate Zone to another during exercise.

As background, I am a first time fitbit owner/user, so there's a lot of basics I probably don't know.

Under Settings, "Heart Rate" is set to ON. Vibrations are set to STRONG.

I went for my first run today. From the home/clock screen I swiped left until I got to Exercise. I tapped start, and it started the timer. I did my whole run but never got any vibrations. Though when I look at the data, I definitely went through a range of zones.

Is there something else I need to be doing?

Hello @michaelstl and welcome to the Community.  The Charge 5 can notify you of these changes under two different circumstances -- during everyday activity and when you use the Exercise app.  This is a VERY BUSY Help article because it has instructions for every device.  You will need to do a little maneuvering through the article to get information just for the Charge 5.  I hope it helps.

Ah, thank you! I had "AZM" notifications set to off. It appears that turning that on will achieve the desired effect.

@michaelstl   This will turn on the AZM notifications for everyday activities.  When you use the Exercise app, you must turn this on for each different exercise.

Oof. Thank you! This is not obvious. I appreciate your help.
