Heart rate range for the day vs Exercise

‎11-06-2023 17:39

‎11-06-2023 17:39

So a weird behavior I noticed:

On an exercise, my peak HR went to up 186bpm, but the rage for the day displayed on the HR tile shows 46bpm to 176bpm. The 46bpm is correct - the lowest value during sleep, but the 176 is less than the values shown in the exercise (186 was the highest, but there are a lot of points with more than 176). It would be interesting to actually show the actual peak value in the HR range

@gstefane the daily values are averaged differently (if I'm correct each number represents an average of a 5 or 10-minute interval). I believe min and max are not one single highest reading but the lowest and highest average. Hence, you won't see 186bpm there because it's been averaged with other values. It is a strange approach as it lowers data coherency and consistency (it's not good when the user has to think which data is true, both can't be true, right?). I've seen it only on the Fitbit platform. Other platforms I use to take into account all the readings to tell the lowest and highest HR (in fact, they use the highest HR for some other metrics).
