Charge 2 heart rate query

[Roberto12345678]

Hi  why would there be a difference in my max heart rate on the exercise app and the heart rate app. On a run this evening my max heart rate on the exercise app was 157 bpm yet on the heart rate app the max heart rate was 135. Seems strange that there should be a difference and which one is correct? Thank you.

Hello @Roberto12345678 and welcome to the Community.  Many users have this same question.  The graph on the heart rate tile shows a heart rate that is averaged over five minutes.  The exercise app has a more detailed graph that is averaged over one minute.  This averaging also explains why you might see a specific number on your Charge 2 device while exercising, but don't see it in graph.
