Setting HR while running

[Rajeesridhar]

Would like to know if I can set my HR ( to achieve and to sustain while running) in sense 2? Would help to train in HR range.

If you want HR based target then no. Running doesn't allow you set HR range target. You may use a custom zone set in the heart rate zones setting in the mobile app but this will give you only partial solution. For example, I set custom zone for 60bpm-90bpm so the watch will tell me during run whether I am below, in or above my zone but it will not buzz. You will need to check the screen yourself:

That said, if you want to train with HR targets in mind then honestly, return Sense 2 and get proper runner's watch (which means not Fitbit). I did lots of testing of Sense in the past and Sense 2 now and HR could be as well given to you by rolling the dice. I posted a few analysis of HR sensor in another thread here about heart rate accuracy. Worth checking.
