Surge in walk mode

[melinda067]

Used Surge today in walk mode. Had no problem getting GPS to find my location. At least 3 to 4 times I sprinted (ran) for about 1/4 mile. Would this affect the accuracy since I was running ( at times) with Surge in walk mode? Should I have switched between walk/run modes (would have been a pain) or the Surge just picked up my moments of running as very fast walking?

very fast walking.

look at your walking activity and split times.

some will be shorter.

From a conversation I had here yesterday, the distinction in exercise types is more about presentation of the dat than about functionality of the Surge. You'll be fine.

@melinda067 As @MikeF posted, a way to present data. I use Yoga if I want to track my HR while asleep. I have a HR that can get down to 41 bpm with a RHR of 55.

I would love to know how Fitbit calculate their RHR and part of that is how many minutes do they consider is rest, and what is rest during waking hours..
