A reading is not the whole story.

Read the measurement label first

A current reading, a session average, and a resting value are not the same measurement. Keep the label and time window alongside any number you record. That makes an observation easier to understand later.

Understand relative effort

The detailed guide below explains the CDC talk test and why a pace can feel different to different people. It is a general way to discuss intensity, not a substitute for a personalized exercise plan or a medical assessment.

No ideal number is prescribed here

The illustrative value of 108 bpm in the homepage dashboard is not a goal, a safe-zone claim, or a reading from you. Colorful cards are a design choice, not evidence that a particular number is appropriate for every reader.

Bring individual concerns to a professional

This site does not diagnose symptoms or interpret abnormal readings. Seek appropriate medical help for concerning symptoms, and discuss personal activity questions with a qualified healthcare professional. Do not keep exercising merely to change the color of a dashboard.
