2 questions regarding the HR monitor:

 

The Ionic HR monitor has only 3 heart zones while the standard (Polar, Garmin...) seem to be 5 zones.  Is there a way to change that ?  I would like to be able to compare the Ionic data to the data I have accumulated over the years.

 

No matter how I try, I'm unable to change my maximum HR that is locked to 220 minus my age.  The Fitbit app allows me to change it but I am unable to save the change.   Is is a known bug or am I doing it wrong ?

 

Thanks for helping me.

@JGobeil Unfortunately (from my perspective) Fitbit only supports 3 HR zones. You can create a custom zone:

On a similar note, Fitbit doesn't support setting your max HR. Mine is quite different from age formula.

Thanks for your reply Barrera. 

 

I could probably get used to 3 zones but seeing on the graph that I am working out at my max HR is a joke...  

 

Well, this is a dealbreaker !!!  I will return the watch today. Garmin Vivoactive 3 here I come !
