Fitbit Charge 6 heart rate monitor not accurate.

When doing HIIT training my charge 6 heart rate is relatively accurate as my heart rate increases but during the recovery stages of the HIIT exercise the heart rate on my Charge 6 stays at the peak rate and does not reflect actual reduction in heart rate during recovery phase.  Sometimes adjusting on my wrist will correct by not always.

Hi @KCarvin. Welcome to the community forums. 

Thank you for sharing the inquiry regarding your Charge 6.

Please make sure that you are wearing the Charge 6 tight enough so that it's not moving around on your wrist. You could also make sure that the HR sensor on the back of the device is clean and free of any obstruction. To see more information: How do I improve the accuracy of a heart-rate reading?
