Walking data is just wrong. Distance and thus pace are inaccurate. Also, heart rate is clocking much faster than is true. I know this because of comparison to exact same walks from about a month ago.

Hi Charich,

For heartrate best you can do is make sure it's tight and not loose like a bracelet watch.

 

For stride accuracy this is the article I dialed in my own settings with great results:

Cheers,

Hi, @Charich welcome, you may find this article of interest How accurate are Fitbit devices? There are particular sections on HR and "Steps". In addition, you may find this third-party article useful How to make your fitness tracker count steps more accurately - The Verge 

I hope this helps.

Cheers
