Zone Minutes

[Topsy2012]

Sense isn’t picking up Zone minutes nor Exercise. 25 minutes on rowing machine didn’t register as exercise or zone minutes. 1minute walk to the machine did !!!

Welcome to the Fitbit community.

Rowing machine isn't an automatically detected workout. The ones that are, or at least supposed to:

Activities

	Walk
	Run*
	Outdoor Bike
	Elliptical
	Sports
	Aerobic Workout
	Swimming**

You should manually select "Workout" exercise when doing a rowing machine.

Thank-you. I appreciate having to enter an activity (although I would have thought Fitbit at this price  should be able to recognise more than 6/7 activities)..

However, it also doesn't seem to be recognising Zone minutes at the moment, including brisk 5 minute walk. Is there anything I can do ?

@Topsy2012 Pretty much make sure you're wearing the Sense the recommended way so it's getting as good a reading as it can. Make sure your watch is snug but comfortable and away from the wrist. For some, people might say many, heart rate monitoring can be an issue. It can be slow to register a change and low to measure peak heart rate during exercises.
