Add Peak Heart Rate to Health Metrics

You track my heart rate all day long. If I want to know my max heart rate, I have to go to every daily activity log and look through every graph. From what I can see, you use the 220-age calculation to get max heart rate. We all know that every 30 year old doesn't have the same max heart rate. You monitor this information. Why use a formula?

I second this! I am strongly in need of an app that runs solely in the background and notifies you if your heart rate goes lower or higher than the values you have set for your min or max heart rate . I don't need it while exercising, I need it all day.. Also it needs to be able to show all the data for previous days, weeks, months etc. And the daily high/low needs to show up on the clock face along with the real time heart rate. My galaxy watch does this and I switched to fitbit 2 because I thought it would leaps and bounds above the galaxy as it is a fitness watch but I was wrong.

+1 for this feature. If one goes all out on exercise every now and then, one can see how max heart rate changes over time. So maybe let the user choose to pick max heart rate from each month, or each year in the past.
