Want to track my heart rate, how detailed are these wrist bands?

Hi all,

I want to be able to track my heart rate. I've been looking at things like the Fitbit Charge HR and it seems to fit the bill. However a lot of them tell you how much detail it goes into with the HR tracking.

Basically, I want to know how detailed the HR tracking goes on these devices in the apps. I'm looking for something thats gives me 24/7 tracking if possible.

Can anyone with these wristbands tell me how detailed it is? Show me if possible?

I have a FitBit HR

I leave it on all the time, tracks HR all through the day and while your sleeping etc. I haven't gone into the HR tracking massively but here is a screenshot from my bike ride the other day:

Cool thanks. Ended up winning a Fitbit ChargeHR from eBay earlier. So lets see

Also, is that in the 'active' mode all the time, so it takes it every 1 second?

I have linked it with my Strava account, so it goes into "active" mode either if I ride or enter it manually via FitBit for running etc.

Im not sure if you can view a full 24 hour day in that viewing mind!
