I'm very disappointed. I purchased a fit bit sense two weeks ago as I have Afib and need to monitor my heart rate during exercise. It registered 79 bpm when I was actually fluctuating over 130 bpm. Any hopes of fixing this or have I thrown my money down the drain. The watch was advertised for Afib.

First, welcome to the Fitbit community.

 

The watch is known to have a delay in showing heart rate change as well as not hitting max heart rate. That being said, I believe you have to actually do an ECG with the watch for it to detect AFib.
