Fitbit symbols/icons and their meanings

[Christina89]

Hi Everyone,

As I flip through my watch, I see some symbols that I do not know the meaning of... is there a photo of the symbols that tell me the meaning i.e a guide that I can refernce ?

Like what is the flame with a number under it?
or the lighting bolt? or the man with his leg bent and arms up?

I don't know why it is so hard for Fitbit to do this.  Come on Fitbit....Do better.

Here is something I found on the web, it is the closest thing I've found.  

Fitbit Icons and Meanings (fyicenter.com)

Personalized heart-rate zones help you target the training intensity of your choice. (3 Arrows on top of each other).

Earn Active Zone Minutes for time spent in the fat burn, cardio, or peak heart-rate zones. 

For more information, see What are Active Zone Minutes or active minutes on my Fitbit device? and How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device?

To start, your goal is to earn 150 Active Zone Minutes each week. The American Heart Association and World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or a combination of both, each week. If you earn an average of 22 Active Zone Minutes daily, you meet these recommendations, but you can change your goal based on your needs.

I believe that is calories.  But I agree, there should be a page with the icons and what they mean.

What does an ! on the screen mean?  I've tried resetting it,but nothing. I can't get past that "!".

[RajW]

Thanks that was useful. I've a couple of questions though.

1. What does the thumbs up 👍 sign with a number against it signify on the main screen after you tap the no of steps, heart rate and distance in kms?

2. How does one activate calculation of heart bpm? The resting bpm has already been populated.

“Most” why not all?? 

[Robmuet]

The arrows pointing up signifies your active minutes!

Thanks!

The blue flame with a number next to it is calories burnt, I don't know how they figure that out but it's kinda helpful for morale

Hope this helped

This answer is effectively useless.  The OP asked for a resource they could use to determine the meaning of the various symbols/icons that are displayed on her FitBit.  This answer does not provide that information at all.  Like I said originally, useless.

Hi, ref your question, I wonder if getting or making some sort of extender strap that you could possibly attached round an ankle might help. 

[LittleRiver]

This reply is not helpful at all. The page you sned us to tells you how to navigate thru the icons, but not what they mean. Simple Question: What does the exercise icon mean? What does it measure? What does "2 out of 6" mean?

try this site    https://www.chronoat.com/fitbit-symbol-icons-meaning-explained-2022/

[LittleRiver]

Thanks, but it STILL doesn't tell me what "Exercise 1 out of 6" means. One what? out of 6 what?

Seems like a pretty obvious question. Appreciate your help, though.

[Filmboomer]

THANK YOU! Your response was the best of all I’ve seen for this question.👍

[Rich_Laue]

That is Exersize Days 1 out of 6. 6 is the amount of days that you previously setup. 

Look at the icons, you will find info about the icon either below or to the left.

I notice all of these posts are pretty old. I'm writing in 2024. So I suspect some of the icons have changed a little. I have one that looks like three up arrows on top of each other.  Anyone have any ideas what that could be?

[HopeFeathers]

The versa 4 that I just got in June of 2024 has a bicycle option.
