I have been using my surge since Christmas and found it generally very good. But when playing squash my heart rate never goes above 160 bpm according to fitbit but this isn't the case. Are there problems recording bpm at the top end as you approach your max heart rate?

Welcome to the forums @Llew! At this time Squash cannot be added to your Surge's exercises list; however you can add this as a Manual log. 

 

If you have any questions as to what's the caloric burn for Squash, I have found this caloric burn calculator for Squash fromSparkpeople :smileyhappy:

 

Also, please see this guide with accuracy tips to improve your Heart Rate readings while doing high impact activities. 

 

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions Cat Very Happy
