Full screen Heart Rate/Heart Rate Zone for each exercise

It would be great to have an option to have the the option on the fitbit app to display heart rate in full screen.  

 

When I run I hold the phone out and try to cycle myself through the cardio zones.  My older vision and/or rain snow/Glare can make it harder to see the heart rate sometimes.   My charge two is hard to use for this since it requires continual wrist flipping and the HR is only displayed for a second or two.

 

great product and app BTW

Doesn't seem like anyone actually cares about these suggestions.  People have been asking for a longer display for a long time.  People don't realize that you can log on and vote for it, but it's broken down by device and it shouldn't.  This should be an option for all of the devices.  It makes sense.  Give u another 5 seconds or 30 seconds to view the device display rather than a few seconds and it's gone.  I can offer my services as a consultant to help make these products better.  Or actually show that you're fixing some of the concerns people have.

Thx for your comment and support BatmanX

I know manufacturers have a tough time integrating new ideas into their ecosystems but seems to me that ideas that fit into the core benefits of the device would be a good thing. Every physical idea submitted likely represents a lot of similar desires.

I was so surprised to find that you can't view a larger version of your daily heart rate chart. Clicking on the heart rate tile on the dashboard should immediately give a full screen version of the chart so you can view the data in better detail. But it doesn't. It gives you a screen where you get a full screen chart of your sleep, your steps, or your weight.... but not your heart rate?!

Yes I can see the chart full screen. What I have a hard time seeing at a glance outside in the Sun or rain what my current heart rate is in a large font

The exercise details currently shows the number of minutes in each heart rate zone. Display the zones on the graph.

Hi @charleskn, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see heart rate zones in the exercise details graph. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I would like the Fitbit APP to continuously display my Heart Rate in large text in the upper section of the main screen instead of, or in addition to, Steps, or on a separate screen.

 

In addition the app should show the HR zone, block the phone from sleeping (dimming or turning off the display) while running in foreground, and support landscape orientation.
