Tracking with Fitbit Charge HR
Your Charge HR tracks:
Steps taken
Current heart rate
Distance traveled
Floors climbed
Calories burned
Hours slept
Quality of sleep
To scroll through your stats simply press the button on the side of your Charge HR. You’ll see the time
followed by an icon and stat in turn. If you have an alarm set, your display will also show the next alarm
time.
Steps Heart rate Distance Floors Calories
Tracking sleep
Your Charge HR automatically tracks the hours you sleep and your movement during the night to help
you understand your sleep quality.
To view last night’s sleep summary, log into Fitbit.com and view the sleep tile on the dashboard or go to
Log > Sleep. You can also view your sleep summary on your mobile dashboard if you’re using the Fitbit
app for iOS, Android, or Windows phone.
Tracking goals
Your Charge HR is designed to track your progress towards a main goal that you define on your
Fitbit.com dashboard. The goal can be set for steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, or floors
climbed. A progress bar below your goal keeps you motivated throughout the day. When you reach your
goal your Charge HR will vibrate and flash to celebrate.
To choose the specific goal you want to track:
1. Log in to your Fitbit.com dashboard.
9
2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page.
3. Click Settings.
4. Click Devices.
5. Under Main Goal, choose the goal you would like to track on your Charge HR.
6. Sync your Charge HR to send the new goal to your tracker.
Once you’ve chosen which goal you want to track, you can set a specific value for that goal on the
Fitbit.com dashboard page or using the Fitbit app for mobile. For example, instead of the default 10,000
steps per day, you may want your goal to be 15,000 per day. To change your goal value using your
dashboard:
1. Log into your Fitbit.com dashboard.
2. Find the tile that corresponds to your goal.
3. Click the gear icon in the lower left corner of the tile.
4. Change your Daily Goal value.
Tracking heart rate
Press the button on your Charge HR to scroll to the heart rate screen. By default, the appearance of the
heart changes depending on your heart rate zone:
Below Zone Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3
Heart rate zones are calculated using the maximum recommended heart rate for your age. If you’re below
Zone 1, your resting heart rate is between 30 to 60 BPM, or 0 to 49% of your maximum. Zone 1
represents fat burn, when your heart rate is at 50 to 69% of maximum. Zone 2 is cardio, where your heart
rate is at 70 to 84% of maximum. Lastly, Zone 3 is performance, meaning your heart rate is at 85 to 100%
of maximum.
Instead of using these default zones, you have the option of configuring a custom heart rate zone. Simply
log in to your dashboard and click the gear icon on the upper right. In the Body Info section on the
Settings page you can select the minimum and maximum heart rate for your custom zone.
Tracking activities
This will change to “Tracking exercise” and be updated with the exercise-mode details.
Exercise: Ability to configure stats displayed during an exercise (what and sequence)
Exercise: Ability to set exercise type on mobile and then start/pause and see stats on graviton. Also auto
labels the exercise type when written to the server.
10
Your Charge HR automatically tracks your steps taken, current heart rate, distance traveled, floors
climbed, and calories burned throughout the day. Using the activity mode feature you can choose to track
a specific activity in greater detail. Activity mode works similar to the trip mode on a car’s odometer. For
example, if you put your tracker in activity mode and go for a run, once you stop activity mode at the end
of the run and sync your data, you’ll see an entry on your activity log. The entry provides a summary of
the activity's stats as well as a minute-by-minute graph.
To put your Charge HR in activity mode, press and hold the button until a stopwatch icon appears. When
you finish the activity, press and hold the button again to turn off activity mode.
11

Your Charge HR is designed to be most accurate when worn on your wrist.
Wearing on your dominant vs. non-dominant wrist
To get the most accurate reading from your Charge HR, you can configure whether you are wearing the
wristband on your dominant or non-dominant wrist.
