Best Heart Rate Monitor in a Fitbit product

[SunsetRunner]

Hi,

I have just had a Charge 4 tracker for 4 weeks but I have returned it because of two main issues that both relate to heart rate monitoring.   I want to own a Fitbit product as all my family use them and so I can participate in some healthy family competitions ("The Work Week Hustle).

Despite many conversations/chats, and following all recommendations from the Fitbit support team,  my Charge 4 was registering my resting heart rate at 37ish, which I know is not correct.  I am in my 60s, reasonably fit, but not that fit!   The second issue was tracking sleep.....some nights I had no sleep score/tracking, some nights advising of 1 to 2 hours and occasionally, something that represented a realistic length of sleep time.   BUT....not on one night in the 4 weeks was the recording good enough to give me a Sleep Score.

Does anyone know if the heart rate tracking technology used in the Versa 3 or Sense gives more accurate recording of heart rates.....or is what is used in the Charge 4 as good as it gets in a Fitbit product.

Thanks in advance for people's thoughts

Heart rate accuracy: NOPE. That is a big problem that a lot of Sense users ( and I am sure not inly for Sense) are having. The HR is inaccurate and there still have no fix for it

@SunsetRunner as others say, Sense (and Versa) seem to experience HR inaccuracy problems. Just to back it up here are links to my recent HR analysis:

I posted a lot more here showing how bad the HR sensor is. Tried two Sense watches. "Sensing" HR is pretty much broken. At least, this is what data analysis shows.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question - much appreciated.

I have the sense , and the charge 4 , I somtimes switch from sense to charge 4 .

heart rate on the charge 4 is beter than the sense , but sense is not always bat .

advantage of the sense is that you can do an ecg reading .

about the low heartrate, are you sure that it’s not , cause I had one time a reading of 44 , and I was to the dokter , cause I’m diabetic the dokter says , the blood had more difficulty to flow , that’s why I had a low heartrate reading , but the Fitbit can mis somtimes the heartrate, but if it’s every day , than I wil first go to a dokter and let me check there first .
