@CarlieR Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums. I appreciate you for sharing the details about the issue with your Versa Lite. I understand where your concern is coming from. 

Please note that heart-rate tracking can be affected by several factors including air temperature and device location on your arm For more information, see What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device? 

Hope this helps.

So what's the solution? My versa lite has had a heart rate off by about 50 bpm even while resting. This is after restarting, factory resetting, and resyncing. Two days straight, it's been giving this same issue.

Im having the same issue for two days as well. Mine reads heart rate 180 plus. I work out intense activity in the early morning maybe for 20-30 min the rest is moderate fat burning but not peak.

How do I fix it? It seems there's a couple of us experiencing this issue all at the same time
