I am kicking my butt in work outs and my HR on the sense is so wonky. Saying it's at 99 when I can feel my heart pounding. How do I fix this issue? I have tightened it, loosened it, wore it higher and lower on my wrist... my active minutes and heart rate are so low when i work out and I know it's wrong.

You can't fix it...take a look on all the other threads about HR issues in this forum.

This would be a great device if not for the exercise heart rate problem.

Hi, @cmcarter089 welcome to the community, I'm not sure if you have seen How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device? or What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device? , I apologise if you have.

Do you have tattoo's or scars in the area you place your Sense? the LED/sensor array depends on measuring the change in colour of the skin layer that is inked at the tattooists.

Cheers

Thank you for the reply. I have read all the information regarding tracking heart rate and what factors affect heart rate. However I, like many others who have posted, do not get an accurate heart rate reading when exercising. I have compared the readings to both a Pro-form heart rate monitor and also to my Fitbit Blaze. The Sense is simply not providing good heart-rate data.
