This is my first Fitbit and I have always had a high resting heart rate. Will the fitbit eventually adjust my heart rate zones to adjust for my resting heart rate? Since I put it on it says I have 3 hours and 21 minutes in the Fat Burn Zone and 1 hour in Cardio Zone. I haven't moved off the couch in most of that time. How do I adjust to show my normal heart rate is already 104 bpm? Also, the Screen Wake only works sometimes when I turn my wrist. Not a huge fan of having to touch the screen half the time. Thanks!

Hello @LodiCA and welcome to the Community.  It might take a day or two for your resting heart rate to settle out to reflect your higher resting heart rate.  I don't have a good answer for your screen wake issue.  Neither my husband nor I wear a Charge 4.  I don't have issues with screen wake.  But my husband seems to need a more exaggerated wrist movement from time to time.

Hi there @LodiCA. Welcome to Community Forums. @LZeeW thanks for the help.

Thank you for the information and feedback. I'd recommend you restart your device.

For the heart rate please check these articles, What are Active Zone Minutes or Active Minutes on my Fitbit device? and How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device?.

Also check these articles regarding the Auto Screen Wake, How do I see the time on my Fitbit device? and How do I navigate my Fitbit device?.
