Exporting More Detailed Data

[DataNerd97]

After looking around the export options, I'm wondering if there is a way to export the second to second heart rate data that the bpm graphs on the dashboard are made from. From what I can tell, the data you get from the CSV export only has very basic stats, such as the steps or calories burned.

Hello @DataNerd97 

There are no more export functionality that the one you saw with basic data.

There has to be a way. Reviewers like DC Rainmaker and The Quantified Scientist do this all the time.

@charleskn those HR profiles, along GPS, can be obtaining downloading the TCX from the specific session (run, bike) you.tracked with GPS.

If instead the OP @DataNerd97 @means during the day sadly he is right, there isn't such optio

I was looking at that just today, and it seems the key is the workout needs to have GPS enabled to get the HR data. Once more, thanks for nothing, Fitbit 🙄

@charleskn there is:

Workaround but uses mechanism that is already a part of Fitbit platform.

Totally agreed. I am in a similar situation. I linked my smart bottle (HidrateSpark Pro) to Fitbit to track my water intake. Both HidrateSpark and Fitbit present the data in a way which shows how much water I drank when. However, when I try to export this data, it only shows daily total water intake in the csv file, not sip by sip water intake that Fitbit stores itself. Is there a workaround for this as well ?

Fitbit can be synced with Google Fit (via third party app Health Sync) and Apple Health. What's more interesting is that, while Fitbit is collecting water intake data from HidrateSpark, with full resolution, i.e., sip by sip water amount and stores it that way, it delivers their data to third parties only as a daily sum basis. This is not fair. I hope Google - Fitbit full integration is soon.
