Real-time tracking of workouts on Android Fitbit app?

[TobiasLindberg]

Hi!

How can I do real-time tracking of my workouts on my android app? IE seing HR and other metrics while I'm on the treadmill or stationary bike. Both my old Garmin watch and my super cheap Xiaomi band has this feature in their android apps, but I don't see anything happening in the Fitbit app when I start a workout on my Charge 5, it's just added after I finish up. Does it have to be enabled somewhere? Also is there a way to initiate other workouts besides running and walking from the android app?

Simply put it is not possible.

@Guitarplayer Thanks for your input!

@TobiasLindberg Welcome to the forums. Thanks for inquiring about tracking exercises with the Fitbit app. Live Tracking on the app is GPS exclusive. How do I use the Fitbit app to capture GPS data?. That is why there are no options for stationary workouts. Although I agree there could be more options. However, there is no option for you to link the exercise started on the Charge 5 to the app and check live statistics on the app. Currently you can only check real time statistics on the device itself.
