Versa Special Edition, on Android and Win10 App.

I needed to edit my swim today - my tracker did not capture the first 100 meters.  Instructions for editing an exercise say to go into the exercise details and click the pencil to edit.

For Swim on Android, there is no pencil, so I switched to the Win10 App & tried to edit my distance.  It was quite difficult!  No matter what number I put in & saved, it always showed me a much higher number on the activity summary.  I swam 750 meters today.  When I put in 750, it showed 1209 meters!  I finally figured out that whatever I input, it gets divided by 0.62+some decimals for some reason.  So I reverse-engineered it.  I calculated 750 * 0.62 = 465.  I input 465, and voila, my distance is now 750 meters.  

That was too much work.  Why isn't the app taking my input literally?

@Julie987 Welcome to the forums. Thanks for your inquiry regarding the editing of your swim training on the Windows 10 app. Please note that this system is no longer supported. The Fitbit app for Windows 10 is now outdated and will not get more updates. I actually have not had to edit a swim training recently. I will give it a try. Did you manually start the swim training on your device? Or did you let your device record the training automatically? Note that it is not possible to edit activities that were started manually on the Fitbit device. Maybe that´s the reason it did not show any pencil symbol. Please make sure your app is up to date.

 

Have a nice day!
