if u not looking for full day HR, go for mio fuse which i find it nice to wear ....

Hello guys, may i know anyone of you having trouble connecting to fitbit through fitbit connect?

It just show that i have no internet connection. Suspect its port 80 issue, but i cant seem to forward the port, even after firewall and setting the router

i was able to connect, no issues.

Finally managed to connect using mobile data, so weird = =....

Anyway i just tested my Charge HR, damn it really trap all the sweat and the HR reading is kinda off.

Any tips? I guess i have to wear it tighter

i clean it every 4-5 day when i charge it

i wipe it using a wet wipe post workout. it tracks my heart beat ok. because i compare the pulse rate that it capture at the same time i check my pulse rate on my bp machine at home, and its only off by a beat or two . and ur not supposed to wear it too tight, some people get some sort of rashes initially. so make sure its not tight.

the optical HR monitor is not medical grade. its meant to be be close to accurate...

Guys, want to add friend in FitBit?

Thought of going for forerunner， didnt know that it is mainly for running and jogging....

Fitbit better still for gym class and so on.

Forerunner memang best, but then fitbit heart rate tracking aint that good, i am still getting use to it. When i am reaching peak, it says my heart rate about 110, then after i rest only say 120 = =.... weird as hell

But multiple sport means fitbit still the best right? Forerunner macam for running only after i go through their website.

The only thing opt me to buy fitbit is price and 24 x 7 heart rate. But i just got my Charge HR for 2 days.

Tested with my gym session, a lil bit problem as i sweat alot, and i kinda feel it didnt detect my heart rate properly during the course.


Forerunner on the other hand, is focus on running, their heart sensor is far more accurate, in terms of the consistency.

You can search "DC Rainmaker", his review is in depth and should clarify all your question.

what ur rsting heart beat ?

irregardless of brand, the best HR tracker is wearing the HR band around the chest: suunto, garmin, etc. choose one that you feel comfortable in. The fancy laser thing on the watch itself will not be accurate and consistent. Tho I do love the fitbit design. Have anyone else also tried this? It is super expensive, tracking HR by ear http://www.jabra.com/sports-headphones/jab...-pulse-wireless GREAT for runners.

Around 65.

I have the Polar for heart rate monitoring while doing sports, mainly running or cycling. I disliked the idea of wearing the strap all day... even while at work.

Is the Fitbit Charge HR suitable for me for ongoing continuous HR monitoring 24x7?
