Charge 6 stationary bike use

[Hawk71]

I use a stationary bike everyday, so the auto-detect and GPS are useless.

Within about 5 to 10 minutes of starting the exercise, the Charge 6 asks me if I want to end the exercise.  I also have ADD and often forget to end the exercise when I am done.   Yes, my Fitbit has recorded many 16 and 18 hour fictitious stationary bike marathons.  LOL

Is there a way to set it to NOT ask to end until a certain amount of time has passed, or even disable that feature?

On the flip side, is there a way to tell it to automatically end after a certain amount of time?

Thanks,

Hawk

@Hawk71   I apologize if I'm misreading what you wrote.  It sounds like you are using Bike with GPS off.  The recommended shortcut for any indoor bike is Spinning.  It doesn't have an Auto-Stop option, But you can set a Goal before you start.  Your Charge 6 will vibrate when you reach your goal to remind you to end your workout.

Like I wrote, Spinning is recommended for any indoor bike: upright, recumbent, and when you bring your outdoor bike in and put it on a trainer.  I think the Bike shortcut with GPS off 'expects' different accelerometer data and that explains why your Fitbit is asking you if you want to stop the exercise.  It also explains why outdoor biking is auto-recognized, but an indoor bike isn't.  Does this make sense?  If this doesn't answer your question, can you clarify how you are tracking this exercise?

Thank you for the information. I use my stationary at times and could not figure out what to use so I was using the bike

No, you were not misreading at all, I had just never scrolled down and clicked the "More" button. LOL.  I didn't realize there were so many choices, and yes, spinning will be perfect. Thank you very much!
