When walking with GPS, Fitbit vibrates seemingly randomly at random intervals of a minute to several minutes. These are not vibrations for exercise goals or zone minutes. They also do not seem to be related to distance. When I look at the Fitbit on these vibrations, there is no obvious reason for them. Could these vibrations be related to GPS or heart rate?

Hi @Martie6 I'm not sure about heart rate, some of the other trackers have this optional option. 

As for GPS, yes, when a GPS lock is lost or acquired the tracker vibrates. In the top of the screen there is an icon that displays the GPS status.
