The zone minute feature is very inaccurate for me. According the the AHA, my max heart rate is 187bpm and my exercise zone should be 93bpm-150bpm. This is exactly where the old app, and active minute feature had it--however, the new app I had to switch to when I activated my luxe and the new "zone minute" feature has my exercise zone between 114bpm-167bpm.
This is so inaccurate that any exercise outside of outright running doesn't get me "zone minutes". My fitbit can see that I'm walking, and even if it's a brisk walk it doesn't log any "zone minutes"--even though it logs that I went for a walk. What's ridiculous, is that the zone minute section in the app claims it's following AHA recommendations, but it's clearly not using their calculator anymore.
What's even more ridiculous is that anytime my heart rate blips over 114bpm I get "zone minutes". Mild scare watching a horror movie? Zone minutes. Thirty seconds walking up the stairs to get to my apartment door? Zone minutes. Social anxiety? Zone minutes. But that 45 minute brisk walk I took after dinner doesn't log as anything.
This change has made the "zone minutes" functionally useless for me. Is there a way to fix it so that it's tracking correctly, and not giving me target zones for a 13yo olympic gymnast?

You can create custom heart rate zones instead of using the specified ones. Go to your account on the app, click Activity and Wellness and then Heart Health. From there you can customize zones. Hope this helps!
