Charge 6 Set max heart rate

[danco]

Hi

In settings when I visit the "Set max heart rate" page it simply say "required" in the box for "Max rate (bpm)"

Does this mean I should enter a figure of 220 minus my age?

I thought this was set automatically but some of the results I have been getting make me wonder if it is correct.

All useful help happily received

@danco   Your Fitbit maximum heart rate is 220 - age as your default number.  You don’t need to change anything unless you have a reason to.  Can you add more information about your experiences?

Thanks. But I am wondering why the box for maximum heart rate has "required" written in it? That sort of suggests you need to enter something,

@danco   You got to that page when you tapped on "Max heart rate" in the CUSTOM section, meaning you want to set a custom value.

    

Your Fitbit is using your default (220 - age) unless you enter a different number.  This information is directly above that box where you can enter a number.
