Is it possible to change HR zones manually?

Is it possible to change HR zones? Automatic zones are set incorrectly.

I believe that they are based upon age, and maybe even resting HR. How do you think they are off? Mine seem in line with what I have seen elsewhere.

way off. It is listed my max rate at 192, when it is 182

You had to create 3 user accounts to ask the same question 3 times? Really?

There seems to be no less than 7 different ways to calculate that:

You can see them on this page.

Based on my info, it looks to be using the original formula. (220-age)

Maybe they can add that in the next software - selection of formula. (Not sure as allowing anyone to plug in anything will pass the lawyers.)

I seem to be the case. Sorry. Do not remember posting it first time. Really not intentionally

I already know my zones. I just have no way to plug them in into the Band

I have to admit, I'm really interested to hear the back story of the three user accounts.

LOL I have my own theory but maybe we need a new thread to resolve the mystery.

In the meantime I have a mystery of my own: HOW are you guys seeing zones....wait...is it on the phone app where the HR view (on the Splits screen) says Light-Aerobic-Anaerobic-Max on the y-axis? I thought for a minute that someone was actually working out with zone-alerts but I'm guessing that's not the case.

It appears that I have two accounts. Not sure how it happen, but I forgot that I created a post a week ago. I posted first question on windowscentral, not knowing how to post it specifically in the band section. Then I figured it out, while cleaver windowscenteral dumped my question in the proper section. Hope this question will lay to rest and I will get an answer to my original question.
