No vigorous activity minutes since 5.60 update

I did the update to 5.60 last Friday and took the opportunity to do a full factory reset and setup. I did not change defaults other than to hide some widgets and setup my preferred activities - also using a nonCIQ watch face.

Since the update, I have logged 0 (zero) vigorous minutes of activity. Since winter started, I have been doing a 20-30 minute elliptical workout every day. Prior to the 5.60 update, I was logging 100-150 minutes of vigorous activity per week and now none. The workout numbers are relatively the same - duration, calories, ave HR, etc.

Any idea why it no longer triggers "vigorous"?

Do you have any tips or references on how to check this? The docs I found simply say "metrics derived from comparing your current heart rate versus your average resting heart rate" which are the same…

I got 495 intensity minutes from Monday to Wednesday with 5.60, so it seems to work for me. I guess it is mostly heart rate based, so I would check the parameters for maximum heart rate and heart rate zones.

Settings - User Profile - Heart Rate Zones. You can have different maximum heart rate and zones for running and cycling.

Thanks. So, what heart rate zone triggers a "vigorous" workout? My average HR would put me in the Zone 4 for the elliptical workout, which seems vigorous to me.

That should be more than enough. I collect plenty of minutes in zone 2.

Using HR Zone didn't work for me. Bike ride with a AVG HR in Zone 4 recorded no intensity minutes (I had HR3/HR4 set for intensity and vigorous). I've set it back to Automatically calculated because of that. Now, I do get intensity minutes but I find it adds them too quickly.

I will try that - an activity with HR Zone and then back to Automatic.

I switched to using HR Zones for intensity minutes and it counted some yesterday. Then, I switched back to Automatic and intensity minutes continue to be counted.

Looks like a case of 'turn it off and turn it back on.'

Same issue. I will try the turn off/on to see if that works. I am in zone 4 and 5 for most of the workout, but 0 vigorous minutes when done.
