Make the heart rate zones colors easier to differentiate

[EileenP]

The colors for different heart rate zones in the map of a completed exercise, such as walk or bike, are too close to each other to differentiate on the iPhone app. Use different colors that are easy to differentiate, like you used for displaying pace.

Change shades or orange(cardio) and red (peak) to something easier to tell apart. (Purple for peak?)

Hi @Dashipman, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see heart rate zones colors easier to differentiate. 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.

the selection of the two orange colors for light and moderate walking intensity is not helpful. The colors should be totally different for easy differentiation (especially for older eyes). Say orange, green, and dark blue. anything but 2 values of the same color - orange.

my request is for the dashboard  - that should be an easy fix.  It shouldn't upset anyone to have more readability.  Why do you need to wait for hundreds of others to search out this question (or any other good one that is an easy fix) and to like it before passing on to developers.  This is not about any one device but is (for me) the laptop dashboard.  Seems like the gatekeeper could move this (and other good, easy suggestions) along.

Heart rate zones are now computed using the HRR and I can set max HR
Would be helpful if the labeled vertical axes lines included the three zones that Fitbit uses.

I agree that the colors are hard to interpret.

 

I personally find it impossible to distinguish the colors for “Moderate” and “Vigorous”.

Respectfully - please change the colours for heart rate zones on the dashboard map. People clearly have been asking for this for *years*. 

It's a no-brainer UI change and pitiful amount of effort - are you listening to the community?
