I just received my new sense.  Is it supposed to vibrate or something when I’m in my peak cardio zone?   It’s kinda difficult to swipe through the screens on your wrist while rowing

If you use the Exercise App on your wrist to start the workout, after selection exercise type but before 'Start', scroll down through other settings for that workout type.  There you will see 'Heart Zone Notifications' with more explanation.  Turn that on.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Quoting from How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device? 

"If your exercise isn’t included, choose Workout."

Under Workout, scrolling down from exercise choice, I see 'Heart Zone Notifications' in red lettering right above an on-off slider, with a description about buzzing right below it.  It looks gray until I move the slider from Off to On, then it brightens.

 

Let's make sure we're looking at same place. "Heart Rate Notifications" and 'Heart Zone Notifications" are, somewhat confusingly, totally different things.  'Heart rate notifications' notify you when your heart rate goes above or below some preset levels when you have been at rest for 10 or 15 minutes.  That is perhaps to help detect abnormalities (maybe AFib).

'Heart Zone Notifications' are vibrations when changing heart rate zones during exercise.

Yes.  Looking in the same place.  But it will not let me move the dang slider.

SOLVED:  well. Worked around.   

I had entered custom workout zones based on physicians advice.   I turned off my custom heart rate zones, synced and now I can change it to “on”

 

thank you for your help
