Note that the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger
reading.

Custom heart-rate zones

Instead of using the default heart-rate zones, you can set a custom zone or a custom
max heart rate 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 the average person. When you're in your custom zone, you'll
see a solid heart on your watch. When you're not in the zone, you'll see an outline of
a heart.
For more details about heart rate tracking, including links to relevant American
Heart Association information, see help.fitbit.com.
