So today I was going for a run, my first one where I really pushed myself.

I saw that on my inspire HR I was at between 160 ~170 in heartrate.

But now when I go back and look at the workout on my app it says peak was at 140!? And that the workout was also shorter than reality.

I had the watch strapped kinda tight so that was not an issue.

Really disappointed!

@Supreme_me Welcome to our Fitbit Community and congratulations for your first run. I totally understand how you feel since your Fitbit device seems to be recording your heart rate inaccurately.

 

Please restart your Inspire HR as described in this help article. After this, check out this help page, which provides some troubleshooting steps for you to try and explains what factors can affect your heart rate readings.

 

Hope this helps.
