My Sense is working fine, but I have no faith in the ECG app.
I do have a heart rhythm issue, every now and then, it is not a regular thing so it is hard to track.
I have the irregular heart rhythm app enabled on my Sense and also the ECG.
I am 65 and as healthy as I can be.
However I do get a series of heart missed beats and it could be for 5 minutes up to an hour and it is usually beat fine 5 times and then miss one, beat 7 times and miss one, beat 2 times and miss one and then 1 more and miss 2 or 3 etc so all over the place.
The best I can hope for is "inconclusive" !
That isnt really good enough. The irregular rhythm app does nothing ever!, Last night at around 0200 my heart was missing a beat every 2-3 and the app is silent. Am I expecting too much out of this toy or should it be thrown in the bin. The rest of the watch is fine just the main thing I bought it for, the ECG gives me no confidence whatsoever.
Is there any way to reset it or reinstall it or update it or check the version on it.
Not a happy owner Fitbit.

@roscored The Fitbit ECG app can only gives one of five results: normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, inconclusive (high heart rate), inconclusive (low heart rate), and inconclusive. ECG App Physician's Guide Page 5 has a list of reasons for getting inconclusive. One of the reasons is that the user has an arrhythmia that Fitbit isn't designed to detect. The Irregular Rhythm Notifications are also looking for signs of atrial fibrillation and aren't designed to detect other arrythmias. In short, it sounds like your Fitbit is working within its programming.
You can share your inconclusive ECG readings with your doctor and I think you should do this.
The Fitbit ECG does a very limited ECG (Lead I). The KardiaMobile 6L is FDA cleared to detect up to six of the most common arrythmias.
