Max Heart Rate (Max HR) is a crucial metric for understanding your cardiovascular health and fitness levels. Currently, we employ a standard formula to calculate Max HR, which is 211 - (0.64 * Age in years). This formula forms the basis for establishing heart rate zones, which are essential for optimizing your workouts and achieving your fitness goals.
Here's a breakdown of the zones based on Max HR:
Zone 1 (50 - 60% of Max HR):
This zone represents light to moderate exercise, ideal for warming up or cooling down.
Zone 2 (60 - 70% of Max HR):
Zone 2 is where you'll find your aerobic fitness sweet spot, excellent for endurance training.
Zone 3 (70 - 80% of Max HR):
In this zone, you're in the midst of aerobic training, building cardiovascular strength.
Zone 4 (80 - 90% of Max HR):
Zone 4 pushes you into the anaerobic realm, great for high-intensity interval training.
Zone 5 (90 - 100% of Max HR):
The highest intensity zone, Zone 5 is reserved for all-out efforts.
We greatly value your feedback and understand the need for more flexibility and precision in managing your health metrics. That's why we're actively working on improvements to provide highly accurate individual Max HR calculations using advanced algorithms directly on your watch. This will enable a more personalized and tailored fitness experience.
In the future, we are also exploring the option of allowing users to edit their heart rate zones and Max HR, providing you with even greater control over your health data.
Our commitment is to cater to both power users who seek granular detail and control over their health metrics and casual users who appreciate a clean and intuitive user interface. We appreciate your feedback, and it fuels our dedication to continually enhancing your experience with our products. Stay tuned for these exciting updates on the horizon!
