Sudden Drop In Cardio Load with new Fitbit

[danco]

Hi

I've bought a new Charge 6 and there has been a huge drop in the amount of Cardo Load compared to when I was using a Luxe.

I"m wondering what I can do about this.

Two things occur to me

It's possible the heart rate is set too high for my moderate activity on my new fitbit. 

I am also wondering if like when cardio load was first introduced it takes some time to calibrate again.

Can anyone offer answers?

@danco   The Charge 6 uses a different heart rate algorithm.  It is supposed to be more accurate during exercise.  They are completely different devices in this regard.  Cardio load isn't simple arithmetic like AZMs, but I suspect your Charge 6 gives you a lower heart rate during exercise.

Your moderate, vigorous, and peak zones are derived from your age and resting heart rate.  They aren't specific to a model.

I haven't changed devices since Fitbit introduced cardio load.  I know it will recalibrate if you delete old cardio load data.  When this happens you lose your target load until it recalibrates.

Does this help?
