Check your heart rate
Heart-rate zones help you target the training intensity of your choice. Versa 2 shows your current zone and progress toward your maximum heart rate next to your heart-rate reading. In the Fitbit app, you can see your time spent in zones
during a particular day or exercise. Three zones based on American Heart Association recommendations are available, or you can create a custom zone if you
have a specific heart rate you’re targeting.
Default heart-rate zones
Default heart-rate zones are calculated using your estimated maximum heart rate.
Fitbit calculates your maximum heart rate with the common formula of 220 minus
your age.
Note that the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger
reading.
Custom heart-rate zones
Set a custom heart-rate zone or a custom max heart rate in the Fitbit app if you
have a specific target in mind. For example, elite athletes might have a target that
differs from the American Heart Association’s recommendations for most people.
