Versa not showing correct HR when on treadmill

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

The hr monitor on my Versa seems very accurate except when in a treadmill exercise, the machines at my gym have excellent hr monitors and when I compare my hr from the machine to my Versa whilst in *workout mode* it is always spot on. Now after doing an incline sprint on the treadmill the machine says my hr is around 180 which is accurate because I can feel it beating out of my chest, yet my Versa usually says somewhere between 90-130. Once I start walking again after a few minutes it catches up, but not all the way as obviously my actual hr has gone down by then. So at the end of my treadmill workout my peak hr is not correct giving me a false exercise summary.

Hey @SunsetRunner, let me give you a warm welcome to the Community! I'd like to share with you the information in this help article: How do I track my heart rate with my Fitbit device? for you to make sure that you are correctly wearing your Versa, specially while you are exercising on the treadmill. 

 

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
