Google Pixel Watch 3 saves runs as “Structured Workouts”

[sindrenm]

I am using a Google Pixel Watch 3, and every time I go for a run with it, I go to “Fitbit Exercise” and then “Run”. When I'm finished with my exercise, it is saved as a “Structured Workout”, with absolutely no indication of what kind of workout it was. Querying the activity from the Web API (https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/list.json) gives me back this:

{
  "activityTypeId": 91060,
  "activityName": "Structured Workout",
  // ...
}

Again, there's nothing in the response that indicates what kind of workout this was.

After querying the Activity Types API (https://api.fitbit.com/1/activities.json), I notice that there is no activity type with that ID or name. It looks to me like “Structured Workout” (ID 91060) is a fallback for an unknown activity type, but it seems weird that something as common as a regular run would be flagged as unknown.

Hi @sindrenm 

Let me try to reproduce this problem, and I'll get back to you.

Thanks for following up on this, @GordonFitbit. Have you managed to reproduce the problem? I've later heard from others starting the Run activity in the same way that I am, but not facing the same issue, but it happens consistently for me.

hi @sindrenm 

I have tried to reproduce this problem, but haven't been able to.   Here are the steps I followed:

1. I updated the software on my Pixel phone, Pixel Watch and Fitbit app to the latest version.
2. On my Pixel Watch, I go into the Fitbit app and select Fitbit Exercise -> All Exercises -> Run.
3. I walked around a bit to record the activity, then stopped recording.
4. After syncing the activity to the Fitbit mobile app, I see in the mobile app that the activity is recorded as a "Run".  
5. Looking at the output of Get Activity Log List, I see the activity is recorded as a "Run".

If you try these same steps and still see "Structured Workout" returned in the mobile app, then I would say there is a problem with the Fitbit software on either the Pixel Watch or Fitbit mobile app.  You would need to speak with our main customer support team for help.

I will move this post to the "Android" platform community.  Report your findings in this post after testing the problem again.  Someone moderating the Android community should be able to help you from there.
