Replace steps with move minutes?

[_FitBob_]

I'm not interested in counting steps. I am more movement oriented (bike, erg, swim, etc). Step counting is pretty useless to me and is more of an annoyance. Is there a Movement mode that can be used to replace the Step mode? Tracking movement is my favorite features of the Google Fit app, and would like to see that replicated here. Thanks a bunch.

Hi @_FitBob_  you can see your choices here - click to read.

Movement or Active Minutes is not available as an option under Main Goal.

There is Calories, but that's tracking a potential side effect of movement not actual movement.  I can burn calories while sleeping and not moving.

I switched to Active Zone Minutes as my Main Goal, but the step count does not go away.

I went for a bike ride, used the manual Bike Exercise to track the exercise/movement, and it still added Steps.  That is crazy incorrect. Walking and Cycling are very different things.

For a Fitness Tracker it really should count Movement.  Counting step diminishes the Fitbit's capability and turns it into a glorified Step Tracker.
