If you start an exercise, on your screen you can´t see what time it is. Only counts the time that you are doing that exercise. So if you need to know what time it is, you have a watch on your wrist, but you have to look for a wall clock or a TV at the gym to know.


Also while swimming you don't know how many laps count.

Thanks! ...but with sweaty fingers from exercise still been a poor display option if you have to scroll/tap to see the actual time.

So difficult is to have multiple information on the same screen at the same time and not lose time trying to scroll.

As well, when you are in the swimming pool and you want to start tracking the activity with wet fingers is difficult to press "start".

Hello again @alejandro.alvar 

I would agree that building up a good sweat (😃Beast Mode) and manipulating through screens isn’t the best option. Have you considered presenting your idea to Fitbit as a suggestion? You can do that here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/idb-p/features   Who knows….maybe it will become a feature if itgets enough votes. 😉 I’d definitely add a thumbs up and vote if you do indeed decide to suggest it.

I used to have a Samsung Gear Pro 2, and all these issues were already resolved. Samsung watch stopped working so I decided to try with a Fitbit, it was a bad decision...
It would be easier if the Fitbit team just copy all the features that others brands already solved and implemented, instead of making their custumer waste time looking to answers in the forum, and votting for suggestions... many thanks all the ways!
