Incorrect zone minutes affecting calories burned?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Inspire 2 has been giving me extra zone minutes while I sleep. Yester day I had 83 zone minutes when I woke up - today it was 60 some. While I appreciate its generosity, I think this must also be raising my "calories burned." Couple this with all the glitches lately in tracking "calories in" (an issue fitbit acknowledges is a problem that they haven't figured out how to fix) and I think wearing my fitbit has become an exercise in futility. Heart rate is wrong, zone minutes wrong, "calories in" zero out at the end of day, calories burned likely inaccurate due to heart rate and zone minute problem.  Are they just trying to get us to upgrade to a newer model? If I do it likely wont be a fitbit product. 

Anyone else getting zone minutes while they sleep? Or have any idea how to fix any of this? I have tried reboots and all of the ideas mentioned in another thread on fixing the zero calories in issue.  The zone minute thing just started. 

 

Getting very frustrated here.

As I think you realized, the zone minutes in themselves would not directly affect calorie burn.  But to get zone minutes, you must have been recording elevated heart rate, and calorie burn is based on heart rate.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Right...it's just the zone minutes are what clued me in to the heartrate issue. And now I have accidentally chosen your response as the best answer...how do I undo that? Because I would still like an answer.

Looks like you figured it out @kllaux. or @JohnnyRow removed it. 

In anycase, tap/click the 3 dots to the right of the post in question. Then unmark. 

You will also see an option under the three dots to edit a post that you wrote.

This happens to me too.  If I look at my heart rate chart first thing in morning sleep looks normal, but later in the day there is a spike up into peak zone showing during those sleep hours.
