Seems to work ok when walking. Rate seems low when I'm cycling. Could this be to do with sweat?

Hi, @byk33r , if you sweat a lot on your wrist that can definitely interfere with HR recording.

 

One tip I hVe picked up is to get a wrist sweat band that you wear on your wrist under your Fitbit, then simply cut a hole just big enough so that the back of the Fitbit with the LED lights can touch your wrist.  

 

I hope this helps.  If you decide to try it, let us know how it goes.  Welcome to the forums!

Hi,
Tried it and it helps. Also, outside rather than on turbo better.
Thanks
