Something is wonky with that measurement IMO as the way it reads you're not exerting enough... I think you'd want to be hitting 6km in like 17-18 minutes max?
You want to keep a 130ish heart rate up for 30 minutes minimum per session to see actual weight loss assuming nothing else in your life changes. That would be like walking on the treadmill at 3.2-3.5mph at an incline of about 7. I'm not sure about rowing.

i keep my HR at about 120, i'm not 25 years old eh. i have a bluetooth chest monitor to see it on screen and i force myself into the zone i want, "Red" is 120 plus, which is what i thought would be the number to work at. maybe i should go higher. i also think the beta blocker i take prevents me from even going too much more? i don't think i can get to 140 if i tried.
the total time is not very accurate. i fuck around a bit with my music when i start, looking for shit to play, and i also don't promptly turn it off when i'm done. the number i look at is calories burned, that's all i care about. does it matter if i burn 500 cals in 20 minutes instaed of 25 minutes?
