Last week I made a suggestion, on the proper place for Suggestions, for Fitbit to create the possibility of getting more accurate Instant Heart Rate readings using the ECG electric sensor instead of the optical sensors used by Sense for its continuous HR readings.
As many of you probably know, heart rates measured with ECGs are, in general, much more accurate than those taken by optical sensors like the ones used in watches and trackers, that can not use a strong light with wrong wavelengths, otherwise our skin would get burned after some time. The difficulties on Sense are that the ECG app provides only a 30 seconds HR average and it requires that we keep two of the other hand fingers touching the Sense metallic outer ring in order to close the electric circuit, which is just not practical for continuous HR readings.
For some strange reason, a Fitbit Moderator quickly moved my suggestion to a 3 years old thread with a similar suggestion by @DrWho but to calibrate the optical HR readings. Sense and the ECG app didn't even exist 3 years ago. On top of that, this thread, which you can find here , has now a confusing title, probably not the original one by @DrWho , that is much more about improving ECG than Heart Rate accuracy, which was not the basic idea of both DrWho's and my suggestion. Asked to correct the title, 7 days later the Moderator has not done it yet, nor even replied.
With a title like that, I doubt that any user looking for a suggestion to improve the HR accuracy will ever open that thread, let alone vote for it.
So I leave its link here in case you want to have a look and maybe vote for it.
Remember that the Suggestions text boxes don't allow texts as long as this, so their explanations have always to be short.
