Is there any way to access the home screen during exercise tracking?   

 

I turn off "screen wake" during the night and forgot to turn it back on before my run the other day.  So I couldn't just glance at my screen unless I tapped it to wake each time.  Drove me insane to the point I had to stop the exercise app, turn the screen wake on and start a new exercise tracking.

 

Thanks for any help!

No, but I really wish they'd add this for multiple reasons.  To generalize, many users have posted about wanting to use a 3rd party app while tracking an exercise (stopwatch, timer, weather, etc).

 

I created a feature suggestion previously but unfortunately hasn't gone anywhere with Fitbit yet.... see link:
