How do I stop heart rate zone notification on Versa 2?

[Dobby3010]

I’ve recently updated to 72.1.9 for my versa 2(or whatever the latest version is as of 06/06/21)

one really annoying feature I’ve noticed is when exercising I get a vibration telling me when I’ve changed heart rate zones, e.g. when running, it will vibrate and instead of seeing my pace I’ll see my heart rate is in peak zone (I’ve recently given blood so my heart rate is a bit more variable than before). A few seconds later I’ll get another vibration but then it bugs out and gives me a empty space where either pace, heart rate or any other stat should be - the ones at the top and bottom are still there (distance and time in my case). This is temporary and flicks back on after another shake of the wrist but it’s really distracting when trying to focus on my running

so I have two asks:

1. How can this be disabled? It’s a really frustrating feature that I don’t want as I find it really distracting.

2. Can you fix the bug where it doesn’t show anything?

I turn my iPhone and Fitbit off regularly so please don’t suggest that

@Dobby3010   You can control these heart rate zone notifications.  Here is a link to Fitbit's Help article that discusses zone minutes and these notifications.  There are two places where you need to turn these off.  One is in the Settings on the Versa 2 device.  This will stop the notifications if you exercise without the exercise app.  There are also settings within each exercise on the Exercise App.  They are controlled individually.

I hope this gives you your sanity back.
