Zone minutes inaccurate if you have SVT or tachycardia

[CB2018]

So I was forced to update my Fitbit versa light and it introduced a new thing called zone minutes which is great for people who don't have tachycardia and SVT. I have superaventricular tachycardia (SVT.) this is partly why I bought the watch, to help me monitor my heart rate. This can provide great insight for my cardiologist, however, My watch is now mistaking my tachycardia for exercise and it isn't actually logging my exercises like walking, my calorie counts are no longer accurate. It really sucks that I can no longer accurately track my activity levels because of this update. This watch was expensive!!!!!! I just bought it a month ago!!!!!! I suggest making it so people can choose if they want heart rate zones or move minutes. The reason for this suggestion is that tracking activity by heart rate may not work for anyone who deals with SVT and tachycardia. Question: is there any way to revert back before this update so that I can have move minutes instead of zone minutes?

First, let me say you are the first person ever I’ve actually heard has SVT like me.  So this new update is a joke and so inaccurate.  And now it no longer is clocking steps or miles correctly either.  I just went 3.1 miles per hour for almost 90 minutes and I registers less than 2.5 miles and 6,000 steps.  Tell me this update isn’t ridiculous.  My Fitbit wasn’t broken so why did they have to fix it?  I relied daily on how my Fitbit tracked.  Now it’s useless.  I just bought an Apple Watch and will either drive over this Fitbit or gift it to someone.  It serves zero purpose if I can no longer rely on it.  With my SVT, I know i did a lot less minutes than was recorded because of this active zone stuff.  I sincerely wish you the best, hope you’re staying healthy in spite of Fitbit.  Hopefully they’ll change it back.

I realize there is much frustration with Active Zone Minutes, but this change should not make any difference with calories burned calculations, or exercise recognition.

Maybe for you it doesn’t matter.  But I now have to work twice as hard to get the same recorded results as I did before the update.  My steps are all of a sudden half of what they were before the update; as are the miles I go and the calories.  I exercised the same amount of time, the same as I do every day yet my results were cut in half.  I did nothing different.   And thanks to the update, my hour and a half workout from yesterday got completely wiped out by the update so now my physician can look and see that I accomplished nothing.  Where before this ridiculous update I was able to make my goals daily; I cannot without exercising for at least twice as long.  I’m happy you’re satisfied with the active zone but there are a great, great many like me who are not and with good reason.  I’m not going to argue the finer technical points as I’m far from the sharpest tool in the shed.  I’m just a simple person.  However, I do know this is not a change for the better. If for no other reason, this has changed the morale for a lot of people who were previously making their goals and being able to see those accomplishments right their on their dashboard... every day.  Now most of us will not make those same goals and some will probably give up thinking they can’t meet those active zone minutes so why try.  This attempt by Fitbit to get people to increase their activity won’t work the way they’d hoped.  And again for someone with SVT, this active zone is disgustingly inaccurate.  I’m in fat burn zone 20 hours out of the day.  Hardly makes the active zone seem appropriate.  But the daily active minutes was always dead-on.  Best of luck and health to you and to all.  Keep plugging away at it while I wait for my Apple Watch!
