Don’t want to see heart rate

[kenohol]

I’m interested in getting a fitbit (mainly for tracking steps and heart rate during workouts) but I don’t like the idea of seeing my heart rate on my wrist all the time, because I have heart problems and anxiety.

Is there a way to make it not show on the screen without turning the heart rate monitor off?

Hi @kenohol - current Fitbits might not be the best choice for getting good heart rate readings during workouts and they cannot connect to external monitors like some Garmins can.

My Versa 4 can read anything up to double the actual rate, others say they under read during workouts.

You can't turn off heart rate on current Fitbitd either but you can use a clock face which shows only time or some variants without HR.
