Maximum heart rate (overexertion) audible notification Sense and Versa 3

[m103]

Add a loud audible (Sense, etc.) alarm when heart rate exceeds a user-set maximum to warn a user of overexertion, particularly when it is too cold for normal physical cues like sweat response. When wearing multiple layers of clothing and active, there's no useful difference between a HR notification vibration and a text message vibration.

I've had my Merge 5 a week and to my surprise, I had spikes in HR above 150 including one above 170 even though I didn't feel like I was straining or out of breath.  My doctor wants me to try and keep it below 150. If I'm just jogging for exercise I can keep a constant eye on heart rate, but not when I'm playing tennis, I think this is an important feature and easy to implement--you already do it for resting state.

Sorry, Charge 5.

I would love this feature too - I have ME/CFS and pacing via heart rate monitoring is a safe way to manage the condition. An audible alert when heart rate exceeds a user-set limit would allow people like me to stay within their ‘energy envelope’ and minimise post-exertions malaise.

Hi, I have a Sense 2 which I really love. At 75 its important to me to be notified when I have  exceeded my maximum heart rate. I have this set up in my phone app (android 13) .

In Push Notifications/High & low heart rate notifications, notification is turned on with a threshold of 140 bpm. However I do not receive any notice when I exceed 140 (which is often).

Phone settings show I have allowed all notifications for the Fitbit app.

Can you assist?.

thanks, John

Further to my post, can someone confirm that audible max heart rate notifications on android are possible for my Sense 2. I only ask this as the above other  posts seem to indicate that it is a desired requested feature in feedbacks.

thanks
