Bought Inspire HR. Seems to work great with resting heartbeat. I was excited to see my BPM playing tennis. Started at 105 BPM after warmup, then I ran hardcore on an intense point that had me clasping hands behind my head and catching my breath. I checked my heart rate and it was like 107. Next 30 min I could not breach 110 BPM. Treadmill at gym gets me to 150 BPM running an 8.5 minute mile. It fits snug, yet loose enough to inch up or down my wrist.

@ThrowFit Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well!

 

Let me help you with your heart rate reading. I suggest you clean the back of your device with cotton and rubbing alcohol and restart it. Turn the heart rate off, save and sync then turn it on save and sync again. Also check these tips to improve the heart rate reading on your device. As sweat could obstruct the heart rate sensor you could try wearing a sport wristband to quickly remove excess sweat from your wrist while you are playing tennis.

 

Let me know how it goes.
