I want to choose my own activity and not use the auto detect/recognize

[bk6]

I used to be able to choose walk and/or hike and now I cannot after the last firmware update and MAC updates.  At this point I can't even modify the activities list.  Maybe I'm doing things wrong and just not locating things.  Can anyone offer advice?  I went on an approx 6 mille hike yesterday and nothing registered except steps and basics.  Feeling very frustrated with this fitbit anymore and the iphone app for it.

Thanks!

I not sure why you feel that you can not manualy start an exercise any more? No5y8ng has changed here. Swipe to tge exercise sdreen, choose tge exercise, and start, it has nothing to do with any MAC update, and tye updates sjould not have changed the way it works.

I appreciate your reply -  Thank you.  Although... the only choices I have are Run, Bike, Weights, Treadmill, Eliptical and Workout.  ALL of which I do not want.  I only want WALK and HIKE.  That's what I had before as those are the only two activities I care about for the most part.  They are gone and I can't seem to get them back so I feel like I can't manually choose my activities and have everything link together and show on a map when sync occurs with the details.

Tyank you for clarifying, or proberly stating the problem.

Then go to the app > Account > Blaze Settings > Exercise Shortcuts > remove what you dont want > add what you want.. After a sync, you will be good.

The first post implied that all the exercise shortcuts had disappeared or would not work on the watch. I based my answer on this.

                                     Thank you Rich that did correct the main issue and my apology for not being clear.  I did what you suggested, saved them and did a sync so they are now availablle.  My activity from yesterdays hike did not transfer over but I'll try again later today on another hike and see what happens.  Thanks again!
