Inspire HR inaccurate calories and sleep and activity detection

[SunsetRunner968]

I bought the Alta HR on Saturday after my trust Apple Watch finally died and didn’t want to shell out for another one. Worst $100 I have EVER spent. Apperantly I burned 2k calories making breakfast Sunday AM? I biked 40 miles yesterday afternoon and the Fitbit said I did ten minutes of exercise that day. It said I slept 9 hours despite going to bed at midnight and waking up at 7. This thing SUCKS is there a way to recalibrate? Fitbit should be ashamed for making such a horrible piece of snake oil!

@SunsetRunner968 It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community!

Let me help you with your Inspire HR. For the calories make sure you entered your personal information correctly (age, weight, height) as this is used to calculate this data.

Regarding the bike activity, your device detects activities based on the motion on your arm. The automatic detection is a feature called SmartTrack. For example when using the elliptical machine make sure you have the moving bars so your device detects the motion and record the activity itself, once an Elliptical activity is saved on your account it should show on the Recent Exercise area. If your heart rate is high but there isn't much motion (yoga, weight lifting, etc.) then these activities will be difficult to be detected by your device. Still you can manually log your activity.

Finally for sleep recording, the Inspire HR will start recording sleep after it detects an hour of inactivity. If you have a light sleep or move too much then this may difficult your sleep detection. Additionally you can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand to decrease the amount of movement it is subjected to. Finally you can restart your device. You can also manually log your sleep time. You can read more about sleep detection here.

Let me know how it goes.
