Hello, 

I have been using fitbit charger 4 for last 1 year, and i am under impression that the device measurements are more accurate untill i found today that heart rate measurements is absolutely not in range when compared to tredmil excercise with medical device connected on..

 

My fit bit was showing hr 135 while actually heart rate was 175 which is max hr and really shocked to see the difference and i always keep pushing my self to improve heart rate to see  cardio zone when I workout by looking at device ❤️ value..

 

Appreciate fitbit community feedback if any one have this similar issue and any improvement a from fitbit..

 

Is it a device limitation or my device is compromised??

 

Regards,

Srinivas

I share your concerns. On occasions while doing fast walking I have seen very short bursts of over 170bpm recorded. This is frankly nonsense and must be too much "noise" in the data. Likewise the HRV was shown as 18 yesterday. Given that I take regular exercise of different kinds it's all rather disappointing.
