Hi all,

 

Last week I received my pixel watch and decided to start running again. Since then, I've been on a few long walks and couple of runs. What's odd is that I can't find a way to compare my runs and see how I am improving. It appears I can't even filter view by activity type and need to scroll from top to bottom to do basic comparison between runs while ignoring all the walks in between. This to me seems odd since I've owned Garmin, Amazfit and Huawei fitness trackers and all of them allowed me to filter by activity and compare the progress made over time.

Am I just missing something or does fitbit really doesn't have this basic functionality? 

 

Thank you.

I'm new to Fitbit myself (also with a Pixel Watch), but it looks like what you're asking is not possible right now.

 

But there is an open feature request here:

Thanks for the reply, sadly it seems that it's been up since 2016 and nothing has been done 😞

@Mariusmssj Fitbit platform doesn't support filtering or any data aggregation that would allow you to compare your runs (like layering data, comparing metrics between activities or even sorting by an activity type). You have two choices:

a) change platform (Fitbit is a very poor platform for runners)

b) sync your activities with thirdparties like TrainingPeaks or Strava. Mind that Fitbit syncs only GPS activities so if you include treadmill runs or run without GPS that will not be transferred.
