Does FitBit have a way to track heart rate all day instead of just resting BPM and tracking during exercise. I would really like to see a daily record of my heart rate throughout the day, and to be able to track it over time. If that functionality exists on my FitBit Blaze, where do I find it?
Thank you!

Hi @J.R.R.,
It sounds like your tracker is set up, you just need to go to the dashboard and look at this graph:
Note the heart icon. It may be set to steps or calories, so you can use the drop-down menu to select the heart icon if that's the case. You can view today, this week or month. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does! It has three settings for heart rate tracking: On, Off and Auto.
You can find you what setting you're currently using and change this on:
- The Blaze (under settings - heart rate).
- Phone app (click the tiny Blaze up top (or account, then Blaze) - heart rate).
- Dashboard (top right cogwheel - click the Blaze - heart rate).
Your daily heart activity shows up under the heart tile on your app (I prefer this view myself) or in the wide tile on your dashboard (you have to choose the heart and daily) after you sync.

Edit: ^This guy was quicker, but pretty much what I wrote, so you don't need double up.
It doesn't track as accurately as exercise as far as I know, but in the graph you can find your average heart beat per 5 minutes.
The app has a prettier version of the graph which is under the heart tile on the app.

Thank you! I see the graph showing heart rate throughout the day day. I can scroll back through previous days as well. Do you know if there is a way to export each days heart rate graphs?
Aloha,
JR

You can find information on exporting data at https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1133 (last updated May 2016).
Brief relevant outtake:
"Body—Includes weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. If you've ever manually tracked your blood pressure, glucose, or heart rate, this data is also available. (We're still working on making automatic heart rate data available for export). If you've created a custom tracker, its data also appears in this file."
I tried downloading both Body and Activity stats in excel format and it doesn't include heart rate in any form, so I'm guessing they're still "working on it".
Edit: There's a suggestion to implement it. You can give it your vote.
